INDUCED VOLTAGESee INDUCED ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE [1]. | ||
INDUCTANCEThe property of a circuit that tends to oppose a change in the existing current flow. The symbol for inductance is L [2] [7]. | ||
INDUCTANCE BRIDGEAn ac bridge circuit used to measure an unknown value of inductance [16]. | ||
INDUCTIONThe act or process of producing voltage and current by the relative motion of a magnetic field across a conductor [1]. | ||
INDUCTION FIELDThe electromagnetic field that is produced about an antenna when current and voltage are present on the same antenna [10]. | ||
INDUCTION LOSSESThe losses that occur when the electromagnetic field around a conductor cuts through nearby metallic objects and induces a current into that object [10]. | ||
INDUCTION MOTORA simple, rugged, ac motor with desirable characteristics. The rotor is energized by transformer action (induction) from the stator. Induction motors are used more than any other type [5]. | ||
INDUCTIVE COUPLINGCoupling of two coils by means of magnetic lines of force. In transformers, coupling applied through magnetic lines of force between the primary and secondary windings [2]. | ||
INDUCTIVE REACTANCEThe opposition to the flow of an alternating current caused by the inductance of a circuit, expressed in ohms. Identified by the symbol X L [2] [9]. | ||
