Circuit symbols
An inductor is
characterized by its inductance, the ratio of the voltage to the rate of
change of current, which has units of henries (H). Inductors have values that typically range
from 1 µH (10−6H) to 1 H. Many inductors have a magnetic core made of iron or ferriteinside the coil, which serves to increase the magnetic field and thus
the inductance. Along with capacitors and resistors, inductors are one of the three passive linear circuit elements that make up electric circuits. Inductors are
widely used in alternating
current(AC) electronic equipment,
particularly in radio equipment. They are used to block AC while allowing DC to
pass; inductors designed for this purpose are called chokes. They are also used in electronic filters to separate signals of different frequencies, and in combination with capacitors to make tuned circuits, used to tune radio and TV receivers.
