Inductors Instrument Information
A passive, two-terminal electronic device which stores electrical energy in a magnetic field while current is flowing through it. The capacitor consists of a conductor, such as a wire wound into a coil. When the current flowing through the inductor changes, the magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor..

Common Uses
- Energy storage devices in power supplies to produce DC current, supplying energy during the “off” switching periods.
- Limiting switching and fault currents in electrical transmission signals.
