Description
Inductors store energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through them. They are commonly used in filtering applications to block or smooth out AC signals while allowing DC signals to pass. Inductors are characterized by their inductance value, measured in henries (H), and are often used in conjunction with capacitors to form resonant circuits.
In power supplies, inductors help in regulating the flow of current and reducing electrical noise. They are also integral to the functioning of transformers, which transfer energy between circuits through electromagnetic induction. Inductors are key components in applications ranging from radio-frequency circuits to power management systems, ensuring efficient energy transfer and signal integrity.
