ELECTRONIC
COMPONENTS - INDUCTORS |
|
Electrical inductance is like mechanical
inertia, and the growth of current in an inductive circuit can be
likened to the acceleration of a boat on the surface of the water.
The boat does not move at the instant a constant force is applied
to it. At this instant, all the applied force is used to overcome
the inertia of the boat.
Once the inertia is overcome, the boat will start to move. After a
while, the speed of the boat reaches its maximum value and the applied
force is used up in overcoming the friction of the water against the
hull. |
