Practical importance of inductance

AI Thread Summary
Inductance plays a crucial role in both DC and AC circuits, influencing how current and voltage behave over time. Ideal current and voltage sources have specific applications in circuit design, contrary to the belief that they are purely theoretical constructs. An ammeter measures the RMS value of current by utilizing the principles of magnetic flux, which allows it to provide accurate readings in AC circuits. Understanding these concepts is essential for practical applications in electronics and electrical engineering. Mastery of inductance and measurement techniques is vital for success in exams and real-world applications.

wts the practical importance of inductance in dc and ac working?

application of ideal current and voltage sources(dint know dey had specific applications till the time i saw dis question in a college paper...i thought dey were just theoretical...)?

how does an ammeter measure the rms value of current?...

please help me...i have my exam in 2 days...

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
