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 ...

THIS book is a theoretical and practical handbook for the use of advanced students. The best methods at present in use for measuring inductance, capacitance, and effective resistance both at low and ...

How do you measure the value of an unknown inductor? If you have an LCR bridge or meter, you are probably going to use that. If not, there are many different techniques you can use. All of them rely ...

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

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 ...

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 ...
