    Small-signal ac equation associated with the inductor

    In the following, you can see three images. You can see my solution as well as the correct answer. Can you tell me how and from where the highlighted factor come?

    Coil's AC resistance. Theory vs Measurement

    I have a big coil I am working on (its radius is about 50 cm). It's a single layer coil built around a frame made of non conductive material, with some carbon fiber bars to hold everything together (their cross section is much smaller than the coil's radius). There are around 50 windings to the...

    Need identification of a toroidal core

    I have a Toroidal inductor core (from an old circuit) (OD-25mm, ID-14mm, H-11mm, color-Gray). inductance measured for different turns are as follows (T-L) "2 - 0.01mH 3 - 0.04mH 4 - 0.09mH 5 - 0.15mH 6 - 0.21mH 7 - 0.29mH 8 - 0.38mH 9 - 0.49mH 10 - 0.6mH 11 - 0.73mH 12 - 0.86mH 13 - 0.98mH 14 -...

    PCB Question for Newbie (building personal alarm) - missing inductor part

    I’m working on a personal project, and I could really use some help. I’m not an electrical engineer, so I apologize in advance if this is a basic question, but I’m a bit stuck. I paid someone to design a personal alarm PCB board for me. It’s similar to those cheap $10 alarms you find on Amazon...

    I don't understand inductors

    I'm reading Art of Electronics without background and in 1.5.1 there is an example I don't understand why. To be fair I don't understand anything at all. I treat current like a river and voltage like a difference in height between different parts of the river flow. As I understand inductor...

    (Myth or something innovative?) Idea for inductors/electromagnets

    Hi, I wanted to share a little idea I had (which may have already been discussed), which would be: What if we take a pulsating DC current, modifying it into spiral loopies (Idk if this is possible), and applying this modified current to an Inductor, would that inductor´s efficiency be increased...

    Inductor / Coil / PWM door lock understand issues.

    Hi, I have returned to an old issue I am struggling with – my door lock solenoid project again. I have created a really simple LTSpice circuit driving my solenoid at 1Khz, 50% duty. The solenoid I measured with an inductance meter, 35mH and 25R series resistance, this has been entered into the...

    alternative Inductor for Evaluation boards kit DC2781A (using LT8316 )

    Hi, I want to build the DC2781A evaluation board by Analog Devices. Most of the passive parts I already have, so the building cost would be much cheaper for me. However, I wasn't able to find a distributor that sells the inductor of this schematic: RPT129NP-102MB by Sumida. Therefore, I'm...

    Common SMD inductor values to try out in repairing

    Hello, I have the broken bluetooth module that you can see in the picture below. Noted in RED 1 and 2, are the two places where an SMD inductor should be. I salvaged one SMD inductor going there, which you can see in the picture below: However, I destroyed it while trying to connect leads...

    Switching response of an inductor

    I am experimenting with an inductor to see what is happening when it gets saturated and at which current it happens. So I set up the attached test circuit and checked the current on the 1Ω resistor. I expected the current to ramp up until the inductor gets saturated and then to increase at even...

    Solar LED Troubleshooting and Learning

    Hi all, I have a Solar LED Light that is not working, and I want to use this to get back into electronics a little. I'm a Control Systems designer, but this level of electrical work still creates a lot of confusion for me. So I am hoping to use this as a learning project. The board is a...

    Blown Inductors on a Dell Laptop Board

    Hello everyone, first thread here, I have cracked open a Dell XPS13 9350 that I've diagnosed the motherboard being dead. It's my mothers old laptop. I figured this would be a good chance to learn more about the micro parts on a board. Upon taking it apart, I found some blown inductors (atleast...

    Chaos generator MOSFET, how does it work?

    The circuit in the picture is a chaotic generator formed from MOSFETs as opposed to op amps from the usual chaos generators. How does it all work exactly? Whilst I have knowledge of how MOSFETs work and such, the connections etc are hard to understand what they all do completely. In-depth...

    DC Boost Converter (5v to 12v using LM2577) not powering load

    I'm sure I'm missing something very fundamental here, but I've built a boost circuit on a breadboard (see attached schematic) to convert 5v to 12v using an LM2577-adj. I want to power a 12v PC fan (rate at 12v at .06A) as the load. The LM2577 seems to work fine, as I'm measuring 12v. The fan...

    finding the number of turns for my inductance.

    Hey guys, so i've calculated that I need an inductance of 0.150mH for my inductor. However, I'm trying to figure out the number of turns I need for it. # I've got an answer of 24 turns but this doesn't feel right to me. Could someone double check my calculations? below is the datasheet for the...
