Lesson 10 Inductance

10

10-1: Self-Inductance of a Conductor
Keywords: Self Inductance;
OBJECTIVES:Apply the definition of inductance, Ampere's law, and Faraday's law
to toroids and long solenoids to (a) find the inductance L; and (b) relate the induced emf
to the rate of change of current or flux.

10-2: LR Circuits
Keywords: AC Circuits; LR Circuits;
OBJECTIVES:Write a differential equation based on the loop equation applied
around an LR circuit and verify the general solution of this equation.Determine
currents, voltages, stored energies, and power dissipation in simple LR circuits.

10-3: LC Circuits
Keywords: AC Circuits; LC Circuits;
OBJECTIVES:Write a differential equation based on energy conservation applied
to an LC circuit and verify solutions of this equation.Determine charges, voltages,
currents, and stored energies in simple LC circuits as a function of time; this includes
using the principle of energy conservation to find maximum values for these
quantities.
