Inductors and inductive components
Induction and inductance
Electromagnetic induction was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831. The principle is that an EMF (a voltage) is generated in a conductor when the magnetic field across the conductor changes. In the early experiments, the change of magnetic field was accomplished by moving either the wire or a magnet, and this is the principle of the alternator and dynamo. An EMF can also be induced without mechanical movement, when the strength or direction of a magnetic field across a wire is altered, and even the presence of a wire is not necessary, because the alteration in a magnetic field can produce an electric field in the absence of any conductor.
