Small inductors are used in tuned RF circuits, and large inductors are widely used in tuned audio circuits. However, the inductors with the largest values are used as filter chokes in linear power supplies. A perfect inductor would have only pure inductive reactance, but real inductors have a finite resistance. The inductance value of a variable inductor can be adjusted over a finite range by changing the number of turns in the coil or moving a permeable core in or out of the coil. At high UHF and microwave frequencies, short lengths of copper or aluminum wire serve as inductors.
1-15. The paper spacer prevents a short circuit between the cathode and anode foils. The layers of materials are wound in jelly-roll fashion and inserted in an aluminum case. External connections are made from the electrodes to the outside terminals of the case. Direct current is passed through the terminals of the capacitor, causing a thin dielectric layer of aluminum oxide to form on the anode. The electrolyte in contact with the metal foil is the cathode. A plus sign marks the positive terminal of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor.
An insulating layer of silicon dioxide is grown on top of the region between the N-type source and the N-type drain. The gate is electrically isolated from the source and gate contacts and the source-to-drain channel beneath it. The schematic symbol for an N-channel MOSFET is shown in Fig. 2-9b. The two kinds of MOSFETs are enhancement mode and depletion mode. The depletion-mode MOSFET has a lightly doped source-to-drain channel, whereas the enhancement-mode version does not. ENHANCEMENT-MODE MOSFETs An enhancement-mode MOSFET is normally off because it requires a gate bias signal to cause current flow because of the high impedance of its substrate source-to-drain channel.
