Basic Circuit Diagram Of An Inductor. The time for which the switch is on during the whole period is known as duty cycle. The circuit is shown below.
This is used in a power source where the ac supply converts into dc. One is the bulb glow when the battery is connected and the other is the bulb off position when the connection is terminated. In an ideal inductor the resistance of the wire is zero.
In the circuit below you have an led and a resistor in series with an inductor.
Electronic devices such as radio tuning circuits and television use capacitor types along with the inductor. Consider a basic circuit consisting of a battery and a bulb. The switch controls the flow of input power into output by turning on and off periodically. Through the use of inductors the tuning circuits can select the desired frequency.
