Air Core Inductor and Its Key Advantages

Air core Inductor is a kind of inductor that does not depend upon a ferromagnetic material to achieve its specified inductance. The inductor has only air inside when it comes to windings upon a different insulator such as bakelite, glass or PTFE etc. What is an inductor?  It is a kind of a passive two-terminal electrical component which stores electric energy in the form of magnetic energy. The inductor uses a conductor which is attached to the coil and generates a magnetic field when electricity is flown into the coil from the left to right. Inductors are mainly used to block AC and allow DC to pass. Which is why they are also called chokes. They can also be used in some electric filters to separate signals of different frequencies, and in combination with capacitors to make tuned circuits, used to tune radio and TV receivers. Inductor blocks only AC because it only resists the change in current. There are different types of inductors. The ones whose core is fille
