Inductors

Inductors are passive electronic components that store electrical energy in the form of a magnetic field. They are typically made of a coil of wire wound around a core material and are used in various electrical circuits and systems. Inductors resist changes in current flow and are commonly employed in filtering, energy storage, impedance matching, and signal conditioning applications. They play a vital role in applications such as power supplies, radio frequency (RF) circuits, motor control, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) solutions.
