Inductors and Innovation: Pioneering Technologies for a Connected World

Introduction : The understanding of electromagnetic phenomena and the principles underlying inductance began to take shape in the 19th century. In the early 1800s, scientists like Hans Christian Oersted and André-Marie Ampère made significant contributions to the understanding of the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Oersted's discovery of the magnetic effect of an electric current laid the foundation for understanding the interaction between electric and magnetic fields. Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction: One of the pivotal moments in the history of inductors came with Michael Faraday's discovery of electromagnetic induction in the 1830s. Faraday demonstrated that a changing magnetic field could induce an electromotive force (EMF) in a nearby conductor, leading to the generation of an electric current. This discovery laid the groundwork for understanding the principle behind inductors—devices that utilize changing magnetic fields to induce volt
