An electronic component inductor is an electronic component that stores electrical energy or filters electrical signals.
An inductor is a component in the form of a coil that creates an electric magnetic field. When current flows through it, a magnetic field is created.
An inductor acts as a resistance, preventing current from changing and storing energy when current flows.
Therefore, inductors perform a filtering function to ensure that the current remains constant or the voltage remains constant in an electrical circuit.
Inductors come in many different types and sizes, and are usually made using a coil of metal wire.
The size of the inductor and the load factor of the coil affect its inductance value, which in turn affects the energy stored in the inductor and how often it operates in an electrical circuit.
Inductors are used in a variety of electronic devices.
For example, in switching power supplies, inductors control the flow of current to ensure that the correct voltage is maintained.
Also, in radio transceivers, inductors perform a filtering role to accept signals of the correct frequency.
