Energy Storage Elements
Inductors
Description
An inductor is a passive component built to store energy within its magnetic field. It can be fabricated by coiling a wire around a magnetic core. When current is permitted to flow through this inductor, it is observed that the voltage across the inductor is directly proportional to the time rate of change of the current. Mathematically,

Inductors, often referred to as coils or chokes, play a crucial role in various electronics and power systems.
In essence, any conductor through which an AC current flows inherently possesses inductive properties and could be categorized as an inductor.
To enhance the inductive effect, practical inductors are created by winding a c...
