An inductor is a passive electronic component that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field. In its simplest form, an inductor consists of a wire loop or coil. The inductance is directly proportional to the number of turns in the coil. Inductance also depends on the radius of the coil and on the type of material around which the coil is wound.
The standard unit of inductance is the Henry abbreviated H. This is a large unit. More common units are the micro Henry, abbreviated µH (1 µH =10-6H) and the milli Henry, abbreviated mH (1 mH =10-3 H). Occasionally, the nano Henry (nH) is used (1 nH = 10-9 H).
Inductors are used extensively in analog circuits and signal processing. Applications range from the use of large inductors in power supplies, which in conjunction with filter capacitors remove fluctuations from the direct current output.
