inductors

An inductor is a passive electronic component that stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it. It resists changes in current, meaning if you try to increase or decrease the flow suddenly, the inductor opposes that change. This property makes it useful for filtering or smoothing electrical signals. Essentially, an inductor acts like a temporary energy reservoir, releasing or absorbing energy as needed, and it’s often used in power supplies, radios, and other electronic circuits to manage current and voltage behaviors.
