A. Magnetic Core Choices Inductors are made, by winding copper wire around magnetic cores. The cores usually contain an air gap purposefully cut into them to improve energy storage. Since the role of an inductor is to store energy, we will usually have one or more air gaps in the magnetic flux path of the core employed for an inductor.
1. Inductors: A single Cu wire wound around a magnetic core. The purpose of an inductor is to store electrical energy. Storage will best be done in air, not in magnetic material as we show below. Hence, inductors have air gaps purposefully placed in their cores ideal Real r L L Ideal Inductor Real Inductor 1. L constant 1.
In this article, we explore the advantages of introducing an air gap to the magnetic core of an inductor. Core saturation is a major concern when designing magnetic components. Most applications seek to avoid it.
cso large L values are achieved in small volumes. However, high µ will limit the maximum energy storage in the core with no air gap. Since the magnetic core material itself is incapable of storing significant energy, energy storage is accomplished in a non-magnetic air gap(s) in series with the core.
The cores usually contain an air gap purposefully cut into them to improve energy storage. Since the role of an inductor is to store energy, we will usually have one or more air gaps in the magnetic flux path of the core employed for an inductor. These air gaps will be precision machined as specified by the user. Air gaps help avoid exceeding B
since the permeability of the core is 10-1000 that of air. That is air gaps will store more energy than magnetic materials. Since the purpose of inductors is to store energy, any core used on an inductor will have a gap cut in it. The figures below show another feature of cores with an air gap cut into them- improved saturation characteristics.

Energy Stored in an Inductor
This energy is actually stored in the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the inductor. In a pure inductor, the energy is stored without loss, and is returned to the rest of the circuit when the current through the inductor is ramped down, and its associated magnetic field collapses. Consider a simple solenoid.
