What Is An Inductor?


                     What Is An Inductor?



An inductor is a passive electronic component which is capable of storing electrical energy in the form of magnetic energy. Basically, it uses a conductor that is wound into a coil, and when electricity flows into the coil from the left to the right, this will generate a magnetic field in the clockwise direction.


The Inductor Basically Used For Increase Or  Decrease Of Current


                        



One Example On Current Increasing-: 

You Are See Here Is A Battery , A  bulb,A coil Of Wire(Inductor) Around A Piece Of Iron(Yellow Coloured) And A Switch The Coil Of Wire Is An Inductor.

If You Were To Take Out The Inductor From This Circuit You Get A Normal Light.

But When You Connect The Inductor To This Circuit  And Close The Switch The bulb Burns Brightly And Then Quickly Goes Out.

It Occur Because The Current Increase During Connect Of Inductor.
Example Of Current Decreasing-:

choke coil is an inductance coil of very small resistance used for controlling current Not The Voltage in an a.c. circuit. If a resistance is used to control current, there is wastage of power due to Joule heating effect in the resistance.

The Choke Coil Only Control Current Not Voltage So You Can see in tube light's packet it glow's on 230-240 volt on ac supply.
