An inductor (or choke) is a coil of wire, very often wound around a magnetic core, providing a kind of momentum to the flow of electricity. Its inductance is measured in Henrys. It is commonly known as a choke when used to block high frequencies or reduce ripple from the AC mains. See Inductors in the Wiki.
