| Abstract |
Inductive components like inductors and transformers are basic elements in power electronic circuits. Therefore, understanding the electromagnetic behavior and the dimensioning of theses components is essential. However, after attending introductory courses in basic electrical engineering many students still lack a deeper understanding of the physics of inductors and transformers. This paper describes educational software (iPES - Java applets freely available on the Internet) which should help the students to get a better insight into the physics of passive power electronics components. iPES does show the distribution of the electromagnetic fields of inductors, transformers where the geometric properties of the magnetic cores and the permeability of the magnetic material could be changed interactively. |
