Real Inductors
Most practical inductors are constructed by wrapping
a wire coil around a magnetic material
Filling a coil with magnetic material greatly increases
the magnetic flux through the coil and therefore
increases the induced emf
The presence of magnetic material increases the
inductance
Most inductors contain a magnetic material inside
which produces a larger value of L in a smaller
package

Energy in an Inductor
Energy is stored in the magnetic field of an inductor
The energy stored in an inductor is PE
ind
= L I

Very similar in form to the energy stored in the electric
field of a capacitor
The expression for energy can also be stated as
In terms of the magnetic field,

Energy in an Inductor, cont.
Energy contained in the magnetic field actually exists
anywhere there is a magnetic field, not just in a
solenoid
Can exist in empty space
The potential energy can also be expressed in terms
of the energy density in the magnetic field
This expression is similar to the energy density
contained in an electric field
