For a resistor-capacitor circuit, the time constant (in seconds) is calculated from the product (multiplication) of resistance in ohms and capacitance in farads: τ=RC. However, for a resistor-inductor circuit, the time constant is calculated from the quotient (division) of inductance in henrys over the resistance in ohms: τ=L/R.

Abstract. The purpose of an opening switch is simply to stop the flow of current in the circuit branch containing the switch. Prior to this action, of course, the opening switch must first conduct the current as required--that is, operate as a closing switch. To accomplish current interruption, the opening switch must force the current to ...
We therefore concentrate on the rate of change of current, Δ I /Δ t, as the cause of induction. A change in the current I1 in one device, coil 1 in the figure, induces an emf2 in the other. We express this in equation form as. emf2 = − MΔI1 Δt. where M is defined to be the mutual inductance between the two devices.
22. 1 Excerpt. Two methods of output voltage adding using pulse forming lines (PFLs) have been studied and compared. Both methods use inductive energy storage (IES) instead of traditional capacitive energy storage (CES), which means that the PFLs are charged by current instead of voltage. One of the methods (Type A) used an additional ...
Inductor. The energy storage inductor in a buck regulator functions as both an energy conversion element and as an output ripple filter. This double duty often saves the cost of an additional output filter, but it complicates the process of finding a good compromise for the value of the inductor. Large values give maximum power output and low ...
