# Inductors

## Inductor Fundamentals.

In practice, inductors have some resistance and some 'distributed' capacitance. The capacitance means that inductors have a self-resonant frequency. Below this their reactance is inductive. At resonance the reactance is resistive. Above it the reactance is capacitive. The following diagrams illustrate the effect:

Inductors can sometimes be referred to as chokes (when used in non value-critical applications as filtering \ signal-blocking components) or as coils (as precisely valued components for tuned circuits etc.). Coils tend to have low values of self-capacitance and high Q.

## Inductance of a straight wire.

$L = 0.0002 b 2.303 Log 10 4 b d - 0.8$ L = 0.0002 b [ ( 2.303 Log10 ( 4b / d ) ) - 0.8 ]

Where:

L = inductance, in µH

d = wire diameter, in mm

b = wire length, in mm

## Inductor Color Code.

Some Radio Frequency chokes have their values indicated by a color code similar to that of resistors:

Summary: watch, in the eyes of different people, the scene is not the hublot replica watches same, some people say that the watch is just a plaything, some people say that the watch is a handicraft, has the connotation, there are people who have a watch as a business, is a commodity, but for the majority of game player, is to spend real money to buy watches the replica watches personal and exclusive products, it is not only a plaything, nor the daily consumables, not a rolex replica commodity, it is like clothes, shoes, car, is a part of life, is a part of love, is to let oneself have a part of quality.
