What does it mean to be a coupled inductor?

COUPLED INDUCTORS. Coupled inductors are two inductors that are connected by electromagnetic induction. A coil is created when an alternating current flows through it. This creates a magnetic field that is coupled to the other coil and induces voltage.



This being said, how does a combined inductor work?

An inductor that is coupled stores energy. A coupled inductor has a gap where energy is stored in the magnet field. For example, a coupled inductor could be used in a flyback convert. It stores energy while the switch's on and then releases the energy to the output.

What does it mean to inductively couple?

Definition of inductive co-operation. Definition of inductive coupling: An electrical connection in which mutual induction is used, usually between two coils that are close together or wound on the same core.

What are the uses of inductors?

Inductors are used to store energy in switched-mode power supplies to generate DC current. Inductors provide energy to the circuit to maintain current flow during "off" switching periods. They also enable topographies in which the output voltage exceeds the input voltage.
