An inductor is a circuit element that stores energy in its magnetic field

 

An inductor consists of a coil of inducting wire

Any conductor of electric current has inductive properties

The inductive effect is typically enhanced by coiling the wire up

 

If a current is passed through an inductor, the voltage across it is directly proportional to the time rate of change in current.

 

 

Inductance is the property whereby an inductor exhibits opposition to the change of current flowing through it

 

Inductance is measured in henry (symbol F) which are volts per ampere
