Inductors is a circuit element, because of change in the current generated by the electromotive force, which resist change in the current. This property is called inductance.
inductance element many forms, according to the appearance and function of different, but have different names. In enameled wire multiturn like, often use as an electromagnet in the inductor and transformer used according to the appearance, also known as coil (coil). In order to provide greater resistance to high frequency by a DC or low frequency, depending on the function often referred to choke (choke), also known as choke. Often with a ferromagnetic material, used in the installation of high inductance transformers, motors and generators, also known as the windings (Winding). Wire through the magnetic substance, no coil shape, often acts as a high-frequency filter small inductor acting, according to the appearance often referred to as magnetic beads (Bead).
Inductors term usually used to refer to the self-inductance or effect as the main work of the element. To self-inductance-based non-customarily mostly call it other names do not usually call to the inductor, for example: transformers, motors, etc. in the electromagnetic coil windings.
In Chinese, the word inductor also colloquially referred to as inductance, but the situation To rigorous expressed as physical objects, and still should be called inductors.
