-
an inductor is normally a coil formed of a number of turns of wire.
-
a current passing through a wire forms a magnetic field around the wire.
-

-
The ability to store energy is known as inductance.
-
The amount of inductance depends upon the number of turns of wire on the coil and its dimensions.
