An inductor is a component in an electrical circuit that stores energy in its magnetic field. Inductors convert electrical energy into magnetic energy by storing, then supplying energy to the circuit to regulate current flow. This means that if the current increases, the magnetic field increases. Figure 1 shows an inductor model.

The magnetic field strength depends on the magnitude of the electric current, and follows any changes in the magnitude of the current.

Inductive Reactance. Like resistance, reactance slows down an electrical current. This phenomenon occurs only in AC circuits. When an electric current flows through a circuit, it is opposed by two things: resistance and reactance. Resistance happens when the electrons that carry the current collide with each other, with the conductor material
