Inductance and Partial Inductance What's It All Mean? Inductance and Partial Inductance What's it all mean? Bruce Archambeault, PhD IEEE Fellow, IBM Distinguished Engineer [email protected] Inductance • Probably the most misunderstood concept in electrical engineering – Do not confuse ‘inductance’ with ‘inductors’ • Common Usage – Self inductance – Loop inductance – Mutual inductance – Equivalent inductance – Partial inductance – Partial self inductance – Partial mutual inductance – Apparent inductance Bruce Archambeault, PhD 2 Inductance • Current flow through metal = inductance! • Fundamental element in EVERYTHING • Loop area first order concern • Inductive impedance increases with frequency and is MAJOR concern at high frequencies X L = 2πfL Bruce Archambeault, PhD 3 Current Loop = Inductance Courtesy of Elya Joffe Bruce Archambeault, PhD 4 Inductance Definition • Faraday’s Law ∂B E ⋅dl = − ⋅dS ∫∫∫∂t • For a simple rectangular loop Area = A ∂B V V = −A B ∂t Bruce Archambeault, PhD 5 Given the Definition of Inductance • Do these have inductance?

  • Units in Electromagnetism (PDF)
    Units in electromagnetism Almost all textbooks on electricity and magnetism (including Griffiths’s book) use the same set of units | the so-called rationalized or Giorgi units. These have the advantage of common use. On the other hand there are all sorts of \0"s and \µ0"s to memorize. Could anyone think of a system that doesn't have all this junk to memorize? Yes, Carl Friedrich Gauss could. This problem describes the Gaussian system of units. [In working this problem, keep in mind the distinction between \dimensions" (like length, time, and charge) and \units" (like meters, seconds, and coulombs).] a. In the Gaussian system, the measure of charge is q q~ = p : 4π0 Write down Coulomb's law in the Gaussian system. Show that in this system, the dimensions ofq ~ are [length]3=2[mass]1=2[time]−1: There is no need, in this system, for a unit of charge like the coulomb, which is independent of the units of mass, length, and time. b. The electric field in the Gaussian system is given by F~ E~~ = : q~ How is this measure of electric field (E~~) related to the standard (Giorgi) field (E~ )? What are the dimensions of E~~? c. The magnetic field in the Gaussian system is given by r4π B~~ = B~ : µ0 What are the dimensions of B~~ and how do they compare to the dimensions of E~~? d. In the Giorgi system, the Lorentz force law is F~ = q(E~ + ~v × B~ ): p What is the Lorentz force law expressed in the Gaussian system? Recall that c = 1= 0µ0.

  • On the First Electromagnetic Measurement of the Velocity of Light by Wilhelm Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch
    Andre Koch Torres Assis On the First Electromagnetic Measurement of the Velocity of Light by Wilhelm Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch Abstract The electrostatic, electrodynamic and electromagnetic systems of units utilized during last century by Ampère, Gauss, Weber, Maxwell and all the others are analyzed. It is shown how the constant c was introduced in physics by Weber's force of 1846. It is shown that it has the unit of velocity and is the ratio of the electromagnetic and electrostatic units of charge. Weber and Kohlrausch's experiment of 1855 to determine c is quoted, emphasizing that they were the first to measure this quantity and obtained the same value as that of light velocity in vacuum. It is shown how Kirchhoff in 1857 and Weber (1857-64) independently of one another obtained the fact that an electromagnetic signal propagates at light velocity along a thin wire of negligible resistivity. They obtained the telegraphy equation utilizing Weber’s action at a distance force. This was accomplished before the development of Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory of light and before Heaviside’s work. 1. Introduction In this work the introduction of the constant c in electromagnetism by Wilhelm Weber in 1846 is analyzed. It is the ratio of electromagnetic and electrostatic units of charge, one of the most fundamental constants of nature. The meaning of this constant is discussed, the first measurement performed by Weber and Kohlrausch in 1855, and the derivation of the telegraphy equation by Kirchhoff and Weber in 1857. Initially the basic systems of units utilized during last century for describing electromagnetic quantities is presented, along with a short review of Weber’s electrodynamics.

  • Chapter 32 Inductance and Magnetic Materials
    Chapter 32 Inductance and Magnetic Materials The appearance of an induced emf in one circuit due to changes in the magnetic field produced by a nearby circuit is called mutual induction. The response of the circuit is characterized by their mutual inductance. Can we find an induced emf due to its own magnetic field changes? Yes! The appearance of an induced emf in a circuit associated with changes in its own magnet field is called self-induction. The corresponding property is called self-inductance. A circuit element, such as a coil, that is designed specifically to have self-inductance is called an inductor. 1 32.1 Inductance Close: As the flux through the coil changes, there is an induced emf that opposites this change. The self induced emf try to prevent the rise in the current. As a result, the current does not reach its final value instantly, but instead rises gradually as in right figure. Open: When the switch is opened, the flux rapidly decreases. This time the self- induced emf tries to maintain the flux. When the current in the windings of an electromagnet is shut off, the self-induced emf can be large enough to produce a spark across the switch contacts. 2 32.1 Inductance (II) Since the self-induction and mutual induction occur simultaneously, both contribute to the flux and to the induced emf in each coil. The flux through coil 1 is the sum of two terms: N1Φ1 = N1(Φ11 + Φ12 ) The net emf induced in coil 1 due to changes in I1 and I2 is d V = −N (Φ + Φ ) emf 1 dt 11 12 3 Self-Inductance It is convenient to express the induced emf in terms of a current rather than the magnetic flux through it.

  • Capacitor and Inductors
    Capacitors and inductors We continue with our analysis of linear circuits by introducing two new passive and linear elements: the capacitor and the inductor. All the methods developed so far for the analysis of linear resistive circuits are applicable to circuits that contain capacitors and inductors. Unlike the resistor which dissipates energy, ideal capacitors and inductors store energy rather than dissipating it. Capacitor: In both digital and analog electronic circuits a capacitor is a fundamental element. It enables the filtering of signals and it provides a fundamental memory element. The capacitor is an element that stores energy in an electric field. The circuit symbol and associated electrical variables for the capacitor is shown on Figure 1. i C + v - Figure 1. Circuit symbol for capacitor The capacitor may be modeled as two conducting plates separated by a dielectric as shown on Figure 2.

  • Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors
    18th International Symposium on Space Terahertz Technology Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors Simon Doyle a, Jack Naylon b, Philip Mauskopf a, Adrian Porch b, and Chris Dunscombe a a Department of Physics and Astronomy, Cardiff University, Queens Buildings, The Parade Cardiff CF24 3AA b Department of Electrical Engineering, Cardiff University, Queens buildings, The Parade Cardiff CF24 3AA ABSTRACT Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) provide a promising solution to the problem of producing large format arrays of ultra sensitive detectors for astronomy. Traditionally KIDs have been constructed from superconducting quarter-wavelength or half-wavelength resonator elements capacitivly coupled to a co-planar feed line. Photons are detected by measuring the change in quasi-particle density caused by the splitting of Cooper pairs in the superconducting resonant element. This change in quasi-particle density alters the kinetic inductance, and hence the resonant frequency of the resonant element. This arrangement requires the quasi-particles generated by photon absorption to be concentrated at positions of high current density in the resonator. This is usually achieved through antenna coupling or quasi-particle trapping. For these detectors to work at wavelengths shorter than around 500 μm where antenna coupling can introduce a significant loss of efficiency, then a direct absorption method needs to be considered. One solution to this problem is the Lumped Element KID (LEKID), which shows no current variation along its length and can be arranged into a photon absorbing area coupled to free space and therefore requiring no antennas or quasi-particle trapping. This paper outlines the relevant microwave theory of a LEKID, along with theoretical performance for these devices.

    Inquiry into Australia's future oil supply and alternative transport fuels Submission from Pat Naughtin Dear Committee members, My submission will be short and simple, and it applies to all four terms of reference. Here is my submission: When you are writing your report on this inquiry, could you please confine yourself to using the International System Of Units (SI) especially when you are referring to amounts of energy. SI has only one unit for energy — joule — with these multiples to measure larger amounts of energy — kilojoules, megajoules, gigajoules, terajoules, petajoules, exajoules, zettajoules, and yottajoules. This is the end of my submission. Supporting material You probably need to know a few things about this submission. What is the legal situation? See 1 Legal issues. Why is this submission needed? See 2 Deliberate confusion. Is the joule the right unit to use? See 3 Chronology of the joule. Why am I making a submission to your inquiry? See: 4 Why do I care about energy issues and the joule? Who is Pat Naughtin and does he know what he's talking about? See below signature. Cheers and best wishes with your inquiry, Pat Naughtin ASM (NSAA), LCAMS (USMA)* PO Box 305, Belmont, Geelong, Australia Phone 61 3 5241 2008 Pat Naughtin is the editor of the 'Numbers and measurement' chapter of the Australian Government Publishing Service 'Style manual – for writers, editors and printers'; he is a Member of the National Speakers Association of Australia and the International Association of Professional Speakers.

  • Induction and Inductance a Current Produces a Magnetic Field. That Fact
    Induction and Inductance A current produces a magnetic field. That fact came as a surprise to the scientists who discovered the effect. Perhaps even more surprising was the discovery of the reverse effect: A magnetic field can produce an electric field that can drive a current. This link between a magnetic field and the electric field it produces (induces) is now called Faraday’s law of induction. Two simple experiments about Faraday’s law of induction. Figure 1. Shows a conducting loop connected to a sensitive ammeter. Because there is no battery or other source of emf included, there is no current in the circuit. However, if we move a bar magnet toward the loop, a current suddenly appears in the circuit. The current disappears when the magnet stops. If we then move the magnet away, a current again suddenly appears, but now in the opposite direction. 1. A current appears only if there is relative motion between the loop and the magnet; the current disappears when the relative motion between them ceases. 2. Faster motion produces a greater current. 3. If moving the magnet’s north pole toward the loop causes, say, clockwise current, then moving the north pole away causes counterclockwise current. Moving the South Pole toward or away from the loop also causes currents, but in the reversed directions. The current produced in the loop is called an induced current; the work done per unit charge to produce that current (to move the conduction electrons that constitute the current) is called an induced emf; and the process of producing the current and emf is called induction.

Content of the presentation - Maxwell's general equations on magnetism - Hysteresis curve - Inductance - Magnetic circuit modelling - Eddy currents and hysteresis losses - Force / torque / power Maxwell 2 James Clerk Maxwell 1831 - 1879 Unified theory of the connection between electricity and magnetism Maxwells equations in free space 3 Not easy to understand in this form. Practical engineers tend to forget the definition of divergence, curl, surface and line integral 1 c 00 Ørsted 4 H.C Ørsted 1777-1851 1820 Ørsteds discovery was a deflection of a Compass needle when it is close to a current carrying conductor. But he was not able to describe the physics or mathematics behind the phenomena {f = Bxil / 90° : f=Bil} Amperé 5 André-Marie Ampére 1775 – 1836 Just one week after Ørsteds discovery Ampere showed that two current carrying wires attract or repulse each other, and was able to show that : F II· 0 12 lr2 I1 r I2 l Thus, for two parallel wires carrying a current of 1 A, and spaced apart by 1 m in vacuum, the force on each wire per unit length is exactly 2 × 10-7 N/m.
