what is an inductor and its uses?
Hello Aspirant
Inductors are passive elements like resistors and capacitors which are used to store electric energy in the form of magnetic field.
Simply putting inductor is a coil or wire of a good conductor material in twists and turns. They are used as energy storing devices, transformers, chokes, induction motors , inductive filters
Inductors, Coils and Chokes
An inductor is a passive electrical component that opposes sudden changes in current. Inductors are also known as coils or chokes. The electrical symbol for an inductor is L.
What is an inductor used for?
Inductors slow down current surges or spikes by temporarily storing energy in an electro-magnetic field and then releasing it back into the circuit.
