And a bit more ... 23:58 Jan 14, 2015
An 'ideal' inductor is one that ONLY exhibits the phenomenon of 'inductance'; it has no resistance, no capacitance (self-capacitance or capacitance vis-a-vis the environment), nor anything else. Of course, such a specimen does not (cannot) exist in the real world. The 'inductance de fuite' represents the induction losses associated with the 'real' inductor. There might also be a series reistance to represent the resistance of the 'ideal' inductor's winding, and one or more capacitors to represent the capacitance of the 'ideal' inductor wrt its environment, and/or to itself. |
