WEBVTT

00:00.400 --> 00:01.080
All right.

00:01.120 --> 00:06.400
Now that we have covered capacitors and how they store energy in an electric field, it is time to explore

00:06.400 --> 00:09.960
their magnetic cousin, which is inductors.

00:10.720 --> 00:12.320
What is an inductor, you may ask?

00:12.840 --> 00:19.000
An inductor is a fundamental passive electronic component that stores energy in a magnetic field.

00:19.280 --> 00:27.120
This magnetic field forms whenever a current flows through the coil of wire inside the inductor.

00:27.920 --> 00:36.760
To give you a deeper analogy, if capacitors resist sudden changes in voltage, inductors resist sudden

00:36.760 --> 00:38.360
changes in current.

00:38.680 --> 00:41.880
So imagine trying to install a spin up a heavy flywheel.

00:42.040 --> 00:47.200
It resists your effort initially, but once it gets going, it keeps spinning easily.

00:47.480 --> 00:51.160
Now that's exactly how an inductor behaves toward electric current.

00:51.840 --> 00:53.520
How does an inductor behave?

00:53.560 --> 01:00.160
So when a voltage is applied to a circuit containing an inductor, initially the, the inductor strongly

01:00.160 --> 01:02.320
resists any change in current.

01:02.320 --> 01:04.680
It behaves almost like an open circuit.

01:04.920 --> 01:12.080
As time passes, the inductor builds up a magnetic field, gradually allowing more current to flow,

01:12.200 --> 01:17.800
and eventually, once the magnetic field is fully established, the inductor acts like a simple piece

01:17.800 --> 01:21.160
of wire, which is low resistance.

01:22.000 --> 01:23.720
So simple summary.

01:24.440 --> 01:29.400
At first, inductor blocks certain current.

01:29.720 --> 01:40.760
Later inductor allows current to pass, and finally inductor behaves like a short wire or DC in a steady

01:41.600 --> 01:42.280
state.

01:42.960 --> 01:48.960
Now this unique behavior is essential in controlling and smoothing electrical signals, especially in

01:49.000 --> 01:50.920
fast switching circuits.

01:51.640 --> 01:58.800
So real world example of inductors is we can say that inductors are used in computers.

01:58.800 --> 02:08.480
So if you open your computer motherboard and now near the CPU, you will see a notice donut shaped components

02:08.520 --> 02:11.000
wrapped in a copper wire.

02:11.720 --> 02:16.080
Now these are inductors that we are talking here.

02:16.400 --> 02:21.040
Now their role is to filter and smooth the voltage feeding to the CPU.

02:21.600 --> 02:27.800
Now, without them, tiny fluctuations in power could cause data corruption, crashes, or even hardware

02:27.800 --> 02:28.360
damage.

02:28.760 --> 02:34.360
Inductors are critical because they stabilize the current, preventing sudden spikes that could disrupt

02:34.400 --> 02:36.120
sensitive microprocessors.

02:36.920 --> 02:40.520
So how inductors react mathematically.

02:41.280 --> 02:42.120
You may ask?

02:42.640 --> 02:50.320
So we have formula which is basically the mathematical relationship describing an inductor is.

02:51.160 --> 02:54.120
Now let's break it down carefully here.

02:54.840 --> 02:59.000
So here As always, you will learn from the previous lectures.

02:59.040 --> 03:04.240
VTI is the instantaneous voltage across the inductor.

03:04.960 --> 03:06.120
T here is time.

03:06.120 --> 03:10.920
Remember L here is the inductance.

03:11.680 --> 03:20.840
Inductance measured in Henries or H, indicating how strongly the inductor resists changes in current.

03:21.280 --> 03:24.960
And d I t divided by d t.

03:25.000 --> 03:31.800
Here is the derivative of current with respect to time, describing how fast the current is trying to

03:31.800 --> 03:32.440
change.

03:33.120 --> 03:43.280
If we interpret this basically a fast changing current which means large, this results in a large opposing

03:43.280 --> 03:44.800
voltage across the inductor.

03:45.600 --> 03:52.440
A slow or no change in current results in little to no voltage across the inductor.

03:53.120 --> 03:58.200
In everyday language, you can say that the faster you try to change the current, the harder the inductor

03:58.200 --> 04:00.960
fights back by generating a voltage.

04:01.800 --> 04:08.880
Now this behavior protects circuits against damaging current surges, as we always do.

04:09.040 --> 04:12.080
We have explained this with a simple circuit.

04:12.280 --> 04:17.560
Now in this circuit we have a power supply five volts.

04:18.360 --> 04:20.440
Also, we have an inductor.

04:21.320 --> 04:23.520
This inductor is actually not kilohertz.

04:24.280 --> 04:27.120
This is how you describe an inductor.

04:27.840 --> 04:32.520
And we have a resistor which is one kilo ohms again.

04:33.320 --> 04:42.160
So when you close the switch here initially the inductor takes the full five voltage which basically

04:42.160 --> 04:43.600
acts like an open circuit.

04:44.320 --> 04:50.040
So no current flows through the resistor here right now.

04:51.640 --> 04:53.600
And as time goes on.

04:54.480 --> 04:59.280
Like you see here, the magnetic field builds up in this inductor.

04:59.280 --> 05:04.120
So the inductor voltage decreases, resistor voltage increases.

05:04.120 --> 05:09.640
And finally the resistor voltage gets five volts here.

05:09.640 --> 05:11.880
In this case you can see it's a BC.

05:11.920 --> 05:16.600
So B to C gets highest voltage over time.

05:17.120 --> 05:25.920
And you can see inductor resistance almost comes closer to non-zero but not fully zero here.

05:26.640 --> 05:32.400
So basically finally the resistor gets full five volts and steady current flows.

05:33.160 --> 05:38.160
And if we go to time constant we have the time here.

05:39.080 --> 05:45.600
So the time constant T tells us how quickly the current increases.

05:45.800 --> 05:54.960
And in our case if we try to calculate that At 1.01 ten.

05:55.840 --> 06:04.000
Sixth power 1.0 multiplied by ten three power ohm.

06:04.840 --> 06:11.600
You see, this is basically three because it is 1000Ω, right?

06:12.280 --> 06:25.240
And yeah, basically 1.0 ten power negative nine is 1.0 nanoseconds.

06:25.240 --> 06:25.960
We get here.

06:26.680 --> 06:37.400
So after about one nanoseconds the current has reached 63% of its final value here.

06:37.840 --> 06:38.280
Oops.

06:39.080 --> 06:39.480
Yeah.

06:39.720 --> 06:40.360
Here.

06:40.400 --> 06:42.920
Almost estimated here.

06:43.720 --> 06:47.000
So here it is 60%.

06:47.760 --> 06:52.210
And after about five six nanoseconds.

06:53.010 --> 07:03.090
It, as you can see here, almost, but not it's not ever 100% because not in electronics, there's

07:03.090 --> 07:06.370
no component that is almost 100% efficient.

07:06.850 --> 07:13.690
But we can say that it is almost 100% the current reached here.

07:15.050 --> 07:23.330
And as we calculate it here, it just needs five six nanoseconds to reach almost 100%.

07:23.530 --> 07:27.090
And after that it will go on stable.

07:27.850 --> 07:34.410
So basically we can use the inductors as stabilizers for the current.

07:35.010 --> 07:40.650
And in ultrafast circuits like CPUs, even nanoseconds.

07:40.650 --> 07:47.170
Here matters greatly considering how fast the CPUs are today.

07:48.010 --> 07:56.410
And here you can see we have a graph of our circuits, inductors, how it behaves, how it acts.

07:57.250 --> 08:03.610
So this graph shows the how the voltage or how the voltages behave over time.

08:03.610 --> 08:15.970
After closing the switch in upper circuit here in the left y axis we can see it shows the voltage of

08:16.010 --> 08:16.610
BC.

08:17.330 --> 08:28.690
So this basically means the voltage across the resistor voltage B and C, and in the right y axis it

08:28.690 --> 08:33.930
shows the voltage AB which is a b here.

08:34.610 --> 08:38.370
So it includes in voltage AB it includes inductor and voltage BC.

08:38.410 --> 08:40.090
It includes the resistor here.

08:40.770 --> 08:47.730
And x axis is basically time which is in nanoseconds.

08:48.450 --> 08:59.090
So at time zero we have zero volts which across BC because no current yet.

08:59.090 --> 09:03.210
So no voltage across the resistors and in the VAB.

09:04.330 --> 09:12.930
And if the time is zero, you can see that it is the entire power supply voltage across inductor.

09:13.690 --> 09:21.090
As the time increases, BC rises exponentially toward five volts.

09:21.770 --> 09:27.690
And the a b here falls toward zero volts.

09:27.690 --> 09:38.370
Here, because the change is fast at first, then it slows down as the circuit reaches equilibrium.

09:39.570 --> 09:42.610
So you may ask why exponential?

09:43.210 --> 09:54.050
Because a change is fast at first, then slows down as the circuit reaches top goal here and we have

09:54.050 --> 10:09.650
the voltage formula V, a, b is basically T 5.0V multiplied by one e times t.

10:10.370 --> 10:19.650
So where this e here is basically Euler's number approximately 2.77 18.

10:19.690 --> 10:20.090
Yeah.

10:20.130 --> 10:29.410
So 2.7 18 which governs the natural exponential decay and example calculations, is at zero t.

10:29.450 --> 10:38.010
Here in the order zero nanoseconds we have zero at the.

10:38.290 --> 10:42.290
If t equals one nanoseconds, which is one time constant.

10:42.450 --> 10:44.570
Basically it will.

10:44.570 --> 10:57.370
We will get 3.1 if we use this formula and add six nanoseconds six time constants.

10:58.130 --> 11:05.810
What we will have is we will basically reach our final voltage, which is five volts approximately.

11:06.330 --> 11:12.210
Now by this time the current is steady and the inductor is no longer resisting the current flow.

11:13.330 --> 11:18.290
And in real circuits, inductors serve as guardians.

11:18.330 --> 11:21.250
They suppress certain surges.

11:21.370 --> 11:24.970
They prevent voltage spikes from damaging sensitive components.

11:25.810 --> 11:31.570
They ensure steady, clean current delivery to CPUs and high frequency circuits.

11:31.930 --> 11:39.930
And without inductors, modern electronics would be far more vulnerable to instability and failure and

11:39.930 --> 11:46.570
even tiny changes measured in nanoseconds can decide whether a system works smoothly or crashes.

11:47.330 --> 11:57.010
So summary points of this lecture is inductors stored magnetic energy and resists changes in current.

11:57.730 --> 12:07.450
The equation v t describes the direct relationship between current changes and inductor voltage.

12:08.250 --> 12:16.170
The time constant t error here measures how fast an inductor reacts.

12:17.010 --> 12:18.490
Exponential curves.

12:18.490 --> 12:25.810
Here describes the natural way voltages rise and fall in these circuits.

12:26.570 --> 12:35.650
So inductors are essentially a protecting, smoothing, and stabilizing modern electronic components.

12:35.690 --> 12:37.610
Now thank you for watching this lecture.

12:37.650 --> 12:40.410
My name is typhoon and I'm waiting you in the next lecture.
