Learning Goal:
To understand the units of inductance, the potential energy stored in an
inductor, and some of the consequences of having inductance in a circuit.
After batteries, resistors, and capacitors, the most common elements in
circuits are inductors. Inductors usually look like tightly wound coils of fine
wire. Unlike capacitors, which produce a physical break in the circuit
between the capacitor plates, the wire of an inductor provides an unbroken
continuous path in which current can flow. When the current in a circuit is
constant, an inductor acts essentially like a short circuit (i.e., a zero-

the magnetic field is strongest within the coil parallel to its axis. The
magnetic field associated with current flowing through an inductor takes time

Request Answer
As indicated by the equation in the introduction to this part, the current flowing through an inductor is related to the amount of electrical potential energy stored in the inductor. If the
current is graphed as a function of time, the slope of the curve indicates the rate at which potential energy in the inductor is increasing or decreasing. The rate at which energy
changes over time is known as power.
Energy cannot be delivered to the inductor infinitely fast, nor can it be dissipated instantaneously in the form of heat or light by other circuit elements. Thus power can never be
infinite. This implies that the curve of current versus time must be continuous. A graph is discontinuous when it contains a point at which the current jumps from one value to another
without taking on all the values in between. When this happens, the slope of the curve at that location is infinite, which would imply infinite power in this case.
