An inductor is a passive electrical component that stores energy in its magnetic field when electric current flows through it. It resists changes in current and is characterized by its inductance, measured in henries (H). Inductors are used in filters, transformers, energy storage in power supplies, and in tuning circuits in radios and TVs. They oppose sudden changes in current, which makes them useful for smoothing out spikes and dips in electrical signals.
