Inductors are fundamental components in electronic circuits, storing energy in a magnetic field and releasing it when the current changes.
Inductors are part of complex circuitry in various electronic devices, including amplifiers, oscillators, and radio frequency identification (RFID) systems.
Electric motors often incorporate inductors in their design to control the speed and direction of the rotating magnetic field.
Transformers utilize inductors to transfer electrical energy between different circuits by inducing a changing magnetic field in a nearby coil.
The time constant of an inductor, known as inductance, is measured in henrys (H) and determines how quickly the current can change.
