An inductor is a common sensor used to detect changes in current and voltage. It plays an important role in electrical circuits and can be used to stop AC signals from passing through and allow DC signals to pass due to its special working principle.
Inductors are made up of coils of wire that produce a magnetic field when current passes through them. When an inductor is connected to a circuit, the AC signal causes a change in the magnetic field in the coil, resulting in an induced electromotive force. This induced electromotive force creates a barrier to the passage of AC current, thus making the inductor impedance to the AC signal.
On the other hand, for a DC signal, since it is a constant current, it does not cause a change in the magnetic field in the coil, and therefore does not generate an induced electromotive force. This makes the inductor have no impedance to the DC signal and the DC signal can pass through smoothly.
Therefore, the reason why inductors pass DC and block AC is mainly due to their principle of operation. By utilizing the characteristics of inductors, filtering and isolation of AC signals can be achieved in circuits, thus protecting other components in the circuit from the interference of AC signals. Inductors have a wide range of applications in electronic circuits and are a very important component.
