How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the frequency of the AC source in Hz in the "Frequency" field.
  2. Enter the inductance value of the inductor in Henrys (H) in the "Inductance" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the voltage across the inductor.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Voltage (V)" field.
  5. Click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields and results.

Working Principle

The voltage across an inductor in an AC circuit is determined by the inductance (L) of the inductor and the frequency (f) of the AC source. The relationship is given by the formula:

V = 2πfL

This formula shows that the voltage across an inductor is directly proportional to both the frequency of the AC source and the inductance of the inductor.

Practical Applications

This calculator is useful for engineers and technicians working with AC circuits that contain inductive components. It can help determine the voltage requirements for various applications such as filters, chokes, and other inductive devices.

Example Calculation

For example, if you have an inductor with an inductance of 0.5 Henrys and it is connected to a 60 Hz AC source, the voltage across the inductor would be:

V = 2 × π × 60 × 0.5 = 188.496 V
