Introduction to Inductors

Q1: What is an inductor?
A1: A capacitor is a two-terminal element whose voltage across its terminals is proportional to the time rate of change of current through it. The proportionality constant is called inductance (L).
$v=L\frac{di}{dt}$

Q2: What determines inductance?
A2: Inductance is determined by the composition and geometry of the inductor.

Q3: How do I simplify inductors in series?
A3: Inductors in series add like resistors in series.

Q4: How do I simplify inductors in parallel?
A3: Inductors in parallel add like resistors in parallel.
