Inductor: answer key, US style, sheet 2 of 2

  1. Fig. 1

    12

    Name Inductor

    An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field and opposes changes in current; its symbol represents the coil.

  2. Fig. 2

    12

    Name Iron-core inductor

    In the coil convention used here, solid parallel core lines indicate iron and dashed core lines ferrite. The unmarked coil is used for air core. These drawings do not identify every material detail.

  3. Fig. 3

    12

    Name Ferrite-core inductor

    In the coil convention used here, solid parallel core lines indicate iron and dashed core lines ferrite. The unmarked coil is used for air core. These drawings do not identify every material detail.

  4. Fig. 4

    12

    Name Inductor

    An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field and opposes changes in current; its symbol represents the coil.

  5. Fig. 5

    12

    Name Iron-core inductor

    In the coil convention used here, solid parallel core lines indicate iron and dashed core lines ferrite. The unmarked coil is used for air core. These drawings do not identify every material detail.

  6. Fig. 6

    12

    Name Ferrite-core inductor

    In the coil convention used here, solid parallel core lines indicate iron and dashed core lines ferrite. The unmarked coil is used for air core. These drawings do not identify every material detail.

Notes

  1. Answer key for sheet 1. The Fig. numbers match the exercise.
  2. Rotating or mirroring a whole symbol, with its terminal identities and connections preserved, does not change the component. The terminal labels move with the drawing.
