☑ Inductance Voltage Leads Current

Basics of an inductor i http. Inductors basic properties to keep the current constant through it causes current to lag behind the voltage.

So the changing current induces a voltage in the conductor.

Inductance voltage leads current. In the inductor voltage leads the current where as in the capacitor current leads the voltage. In the inductance being a coil a magnetic field is generated by circulating a current through it. This induced voltage is in a direction which tends to oppose the change in current as stated by lenzs law so it is called a back emf.

In circuits with primarily capacitive loads current leads the voltage. If you want to know how this happens watch the video. Thus wires or components leads can act as inductors if they are long enough.

This current is maintained if the voltage to the coil is suddenly stopped. In this drawing the voltage is the red waveform and the current in the purple waveform. This generates that the current in the inductance is constant before sudden changes in the voltage.

Only after charge accumulates at the plates of a capacitor is a voltage difference established. As the current lags the voltage in a pure inductance by exactly 90 o the resultant phasor diagram drawn from the individual voltage drops v r and v l represents a right angled voltage triangle shown above as oad. However in a pure inductive circuit the inductor induces an emf which is opposite to the voltage supply and is proportional to the rate of change of current.

This leads to an interesting. V l equals the ix l voltage drop across the inductance which leads the current by 90 o. Due to this back emf a conductors inductance opposes any increase or decrease in electric current through it.

This means the voltage starts first and then the current starts a bit after. Inductance does not exist only within inductors. This is true because current must first flow to the two plates of the capacitor where charge is stored.

In fact any wires or component leads that have current flowing through them create magnetic fields. In a purely inductive circuit the current lags the voltage by 900. When these magnetic fields are created they can produce an inductive effect.
