Operation Principle, Performance, Classification, and Application of Induction Coils

Working Principle of Induction Coils


Induction coils work based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When current flows through a wire, it generates a certain electromagnetic field around it. This electromagnetic field induces effects on other wires within its range, including self-induction and mutual induction. Self-induction refers to the changing magnetic field generated by the variable current in the wire itself, which in turn affects the current in the wire. Mutual induction, on the other hand, occurs when a change in current in one coil induces an electromotive force in another coil.


Performance Indicators of Induction Coils


The primary performance indicator of an induction coil is inductance, also known as the self-inductance coefficient, which indicates the coil's ability to generate self-induction. The inductance primarily depends on factors such as the number of turns (coils), winding method, presence of a magnetic core, and the material of the magnetic core. Generally, the more turns the coil has and the denser the winding, the greater the inductance. Coils with a magnetic core have greater inductance than those without, and coils with a core of higher magnetic permeability also have higher inductance.


Classification of Induction Coils


  • By the nature of the magnetic core: air-core coils, ferrite coils, iron-core coils, copper-core coils, etc.


  • By the operating nature: antenna coils, oscillating coils, choke coils (blocking coils), trap coils, deflection coils, etc.


  • By winding structure: single-layer coils, multi-layer coils, honeycomb coils, etc.


Application of Induction Coils


Induction coils have wide applications in numerous electronic circuits and devices, such as power filtering, signal processing, audio circuits, motor drives, inverters and rectifiers, EMC/EMI suppression, sensors and detectors, wireless charging technology, and oscillation circuits. Especially in high-frequency circuits and precision electronic equipment, the performance of the induction coil critically impacts the overall performance of the equipment.
