Inductor Leaded

Inductor technology relies on a magnetic field produced by the effect of coils or windings of a conducting wire, usually around a magnetic core like iron or another element. Inductors are measured in units of Henrys, which report the total amount of inductance an element can produce. Inductors, like capacitors, can hold a charge or power within them after a certain time and can maintain that power source even when an outside supply is removed. An inductor stores energy in the form of a magnetic field whereas a capacitor stores it in the form of an electric field.
The defining feature of an inductor is a resistance to change in current. Hence, at low or DC voltages inductors act very much like a continuous circuit without any other effects on the signal. For high-frequency applications, however, an inductor can prevent any flow of signal or current because it is so resistant to those high frequencies.
Leaded inductors are most common in axial form with the leads attached concentrically to the opposite ends of the core. Many inductors can come in both leaded and unleaded varieties.
