text: Then in an alternating current, AC circuit an inductor is constantly storing and delivering energy on each and every cycle.
text: When an inductor is faced with an increasing current, it acts as a load: creating voltage as it absorbs energy (positive on the current entry side and negative on the current exit side, like a resistor).
text: Likewise, if the current through the inductor is decreasing and di/dt is less than zero then the instantaneous power must also be less than zero, ( P < 0 ) ie, negative which means that the inductor is returning energy back into the circuit.
text: In this condition, the inductor is said to be discharging, because its store of energy is decreasing as it releases energy from its magnetic field to the rest of the circuit.
text: If a person deliberately brings the magnetic field of two inductors attached to two different circuits together, the inductors can transfer energy from one to the other through their magnetic fields.
text: If we instantaneously flip the switch to the discharge position, as shown below, the magnetic field surrounding the inductor (L) begins to collapse and the inductor will return its energy.
text: In switched mode power supplies, inductors are used to store energy and transfer the energy to an ouput load or capacitor.
text: So inductors can be defined as passive components as they can both stored and deliver energy to the circuit, but they cannot generate energy.
text: The inductor absorbs power from a circuit when storing energy, and the inductor releases the stored energy when delivering energy to the circuit.
