Component tutorial
« on: April 23, 2013, 02:19:52 pm »
I am making this subject so everyone can ask about one component and get their answers.
For example i had this question for a very long time " What is an inductor " till we learned about "pinia" in Greece that is basically a coil which creates a magnetic field and stores energy inside in form of magnetic energy.If we feed a voltage into it the graph will be like this
I(A)

Sorry for the bad graph ... i could not eplain it because my english language skills in the subject are quite bad
What i wanted to say is that the I does not reach the max value "instantly" but in a period of time.
And i learned how the saw like wave form is being made : by closing the switch the I ----> increases and before the val of I = Imax is reached we open the switch and the I----> decreases and we get something like a saw blade wave form

So i made a little reasearch about this coil and i found out that the Inductor IS the coil what i have been talking and thinking about this whole time....
And that the H on the side of the components does NOT stands for Hertz like i thought but for Henry ...
And sorry for the bad explanation or the long story but i am very excited about learning that!!!!

The wave form i am talking about is the sawtooth wave form ( i searched it up) and heres and image.
