How to Use an Electronic Circuits Inductor
An electronic circuit inductor is usually a coil of wire wrapped around fairly tightly to create a helix shape. Energy is passed through the wire and the inductor actually strengthens the energy level due to the creation of a magnetic field as additional energy is passing through the coils. These types of inductors are very useful in electronic equipment.

1
Create an electronic circuit inductor by wrapping wire into a coil shape. Inductors can also be purchased from electronic or hobby stores. Read the package to select the correct strength circuit and ensure the materials used are compatible with your circuit.

2
Be sure to pick the appropriate gage wire for your project. The amount of energy created is measured in Henrys or microHenrys. The detailed schematic diagram indicates the appropriate energy level for each inductor.

3
Insert or attach your electronic circuit inductor to the circuit board in accordance with the schematic diagram. Use caution and make sure that there is no power going to the board as you install the inductor.
-
4
Test the inductor by running energy through the circuit and using an AC voltage meter to record the amount of energy generated. Review the schematics carefully, as too much power blows the next connection and not enough power causes the circuit to fail.

Tips & Warnings
Inductors are used to increase the energy or power in a circuit. It is your responsibility to ensure that all power sources are off when touching or working with an induction coil. Static and magnetic sources create energy too, so double check before work begins.
