Inductors & Chokes
Typically made of coiled wire, inductors are widely used in electronic circuits for filtering, current limiting, energy conversion, and signal conditioning. They come in various types, including air-core, iron-core, ferrite-core, and toroidal designs, with different materials and structures affecting their inductance, operating frequency, and power handling. Inductors play a key role in switching power supplies, power filtering, audio equipment, and wireless communication by stabilizing current, reducing interference, and improving efficiency. Selection depends on inductance, rated current, DC resistance, and frequency characteristics.
