    INTRODUCTION

     In electromagne sm and electronics, inductance is the property of an electrical


    conductor by which a change in current through it induces an electromo ve
    force in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors by mutual
    inductance.
    What is self-inductance?
     Self-inductance is the tendency of a coil to resist changes in current. Whenever
    current changes through a coil, they induce an EMF, which is propor onal to
    the rate of change of current through the coil.

     As the strength of the current in the coil is changed, the flux linked with the
    coil also changes.

    According to Lenz’s law a changing electric current through a circuit that


    contains inductance induces a propor onal voltage, which opposes the change
    in current (self-inductance).
    Theory
    A solenoid is a coil of insulated or enameled wire wound on a rod-shaped form
    made of solid iron, solid steel, or powdered iron.
    Uses of Self Inductance
    The major func on of an inductor is to store electrical energy in the form of a
    magne c field. Inductors are used in the following:
     Tuning circuits
     Sensors
     Store energy in a device
     Induc on motors
     Transformers

    Limita ons of Inductors


    1. An inductor is limited in its current-carrying capacity by its resistance and
    dissipates heat.
    2. Inductors may affect the nearby components in the circuit with their
    magne c fields.

    Self-Inductance is the property of a coil which opposes the change in current


    through it. The Self Inductance of a coil (long solenoid) is
    L =μ0μr N2 A
    Where μr= Rela ve magne c permeability of magne c material,
    μr = μμμ°
    1. N= Total number of turns in solenoid
    2. A= Area of cross sec on of solenoid
    3. l= Length of solenoid
    Therefore, the self-inductance of the coil is dependent on
     Number of turns in coil(N), L∝N2
     Geometry of coil, L=A,L∝1/l
     Nature of core material, L=μ
    When an inductor is connected in series with a resistor (bulb) with a variable
    source of frequency, then current flowing in the bulb is

    I rms=

    Where Z= (R2 + ω2L2)½=Impedance of the A.C. Circuit


    R= Resistance of bulb
    L= Self Inductance of coil
    ω = 2πf = Angular frequency of A.C. source.
