I watched an episode of "HOW IT'S MADE" yesterday and an "inductor" was one of the items. They stated that this "unit" stored electricity but not for what application or voltage  . What/where is this apparatus used ?? Is it similar to the capacitor on a large electric motor ? Thanks

| A capacitor "stores" voltage. An inductor is sort of like a buffer to stabilize current. An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field, that resists changes in current in a circuit. A capacitor resists changes in voltage or "stores voltage" in an electrical field. |

Inductors(chokes) are used all over the place though you're more familiar with 'transfomers' which can be considered 2 chokes sharing a common magnetic core. If you ever had a crystal radio, it used both a choke and capacitor, wired in parallel, to 'tune' into the various radio stations . Inductors(chokes) are also used to slow down or 'filter out' unwanted signals from getting into electronic devices. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
