is for Inductor
An inductor is an electrical component that stores energy in its magnetic field. It was first devised by Michael Faraday who we mentioned earlier. It is similar to a capacitor which stores energy in an electrical field and a resistor which doesn't store energy but dissipates it as heat.
Inductors are mostly used in analog circuits and signal processing. They are usually constructed with a coil, usually made of copper, wrapped around a magnetic core. The vast number of types of inductors make them common components in bespoke engineering.
