Inductors

Inductors are fundamental passive components in electronic circuits, characterized by their ability to store energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them. They play a crucial role in various applications such as filtering out unwanted signals, managing power conversion in switching circuits, and forming resonant circuits with capacitors. Inductors come in different forms, from simple air-core coils to complex ferrite-core inductors, each designed to meet specific frequency ranges and current handling capabilities. Their versatility makes them indispensable in the design and functionality of modern electronics.

    Inductors can be classified into various categories based on different characteristics. Here are some major classifications:

    By construction:

    • Wirewound Inductors
