CHAPTER 8

imageInductance and Transformers

This chapter introduces the inductor and transformer with a discussion of their physical and electrical properties. Circuits containing series and parallel-connected inductors are discussed and analyzed. The property of mutual inductance is introduced.

At the end of this chapter, you should be able to:

1. Define inductance, state the basic unit of inductance, and be able to explain two concepts used to explain the counter EMF of an inductor.

2. Determine the effect of increasing or decreasing the permeability of the core material, the number of turns of conductor, and the cross-sectional area of the core ...
