Editor’s note: Jim McLucas, author of the 2010 Design Idea Circuit measures capacitance or inductance wanted to respond to some discussion about using this Design Idea. Please see the following that ...

DURING the last thirty years a very large number of papers has been published on alternating-current bridge methods of measuring inductance and capacity. For adjusting apparatus in radio work an ...

MANY problems in connexion with obtaining formulae for the inductance and capacity of various conductors and systems of conductors have recently been solved. The Calculation and Measurement of ...

One of our technicians recently asked for help determining the value of an SMT inductor. It was unmarked, and was many turns of very fine wire on a ferrite core. The resistance measured 26Ω, which for ...

This means that the coil inductance will be smaller. In the extreme, when the core is saturated, the inductance falls to its air-core value. Consequently, a coil intended to be used at a certain DC ...

Description: This portable LCR meter can measure inductance, capacitance, and resistance with 0.1 percent basic impedance accuracy. The 880 provides test frequencies up to 100 kHz, selectable test ...

A basic digital multimeter (DMM) is usually the first measurement tool the aspiring electronics tinkerer buys. Even a bargain-bin DMM will happily measure voltage, current, and resistance; check ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...
