Determine characteristics of inductance.

Determination requires

  • defining
    • henry
    • inductor
    • inductance
    • Lenz's law
    • phase relationships

  • explaining physical properties of an inductor
  • explaining electrical characteristics of an inductor
  • constructing a simple inductive circuit, and observing results of changing frequency or inductance
  • demonstrating the use of a
    • voltmeter
    • oscilloscope
    • signal generator

  • drawing the schematic symbol for an inductor.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What is a practical application of inductance?
  • What is the phase relationship in a purely inductive circuit?
  • What are the physical properties of an inductor?
