Inductors provide us with a means of storing electrical energy in the form of a magnetic field. Typical applications include chokes, filters, and frequency selective circuits. The electrical characteristics of an inductor are determined by a number of factors including the material of the core (if any), the number of turns, and the physical dimensions of the coil.
