Objectives:
2. To evaluate the effects of the length of coil, through elongation or compression, to inductance
Theoretical Discussion:
Inductance (L) is the ability to induce a voltage across itself with a change in current. In
electrical circuits, inductance is similar to inertia in mechanical operations.
Every wire in an electrical circuit has some associated inductance. A wire is composed of groups
of conductive coils wrapped around a ferromagnetic material such as iron. When a circuit is said
to be of large inductance, the current is hard to change.
In increasing the property of inductance, the conductor can be formed into a loop or coil. Current
through one loop produces a magnetic field that encircles the loop in the direction shown in
figure 1. The current in each loop affect other loops this is because field cutting each loop has the
effect of increasing the opposition to a current change.
A greater number of turns of wire in the coil results in greater inductance and fewer turns
of wire in the coil results less inductance (Figure 2). The reason for this is that more turns
of wire means that the coil will generate a greater amount of magnetic field or force, for a
given amount of coil current.
The greater the magnetic permeability of the core which the coil is wrapped around, the
greater the inductance and the less the permeability of the core the less inductance
(Figure 3). This is because core material with greater magnetic permeability results in
greater magnetic field flux for any given amount of field force.
Since greater coil area presents less opposition to the formation of magnetic flux, for a
given amount of field force, greater area of a coil results greater inductance (Figure 4).
D. The shape, size and arrangement of the wire making up the coils.
A longer path for the magnetic field flux results in more opposition to the formation of
that flux for any given amount of field force. The longer the coil’s length, the less
inductance and the shorter the length the greater inductance (Figure 5)

When the inductance of the coil is changed, the coil tends to make a magnetic field that
would result in a magnetic flux that will create an inertia which resists the current that flows in
the inductor. As an effect, the current changes with respect to the inductor, and will also create a
change in the voltage applied on the circuit.
Laboratory Equipment:
Quantity Apparatus
1 pc Circuit 1 trainer kit (EEC471-2 andEEC470)
1pc Circuit 1 trainer power supply (Feedback Power Supply PS445)
1 pc Electronic V.O.M.
1 pc Inductor (coil)
Procedure:
1. Set-up the circuit shown blow. Measure the inductance, L0. Assure that the resistances used
are not too high or too low.
2. After doing so, elongate the coil. Measure the value of inductance, LE, in order to determine
the effect of increasing length of the coil.
3. For the next step, compress the coil. Measure the value of inductance, LC, in order to
determine the effect of decreasing length of the coil.
2. Find resistors with higher resistances than the previous ones. Measure the resistances using
Electronic V.O.M.
