Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The choke coil was installed in the radio receiver to filter out unwanted frequencies and allow only the desired signal to pass through.
- In the audio amplifier circuit, a choke was used to supply direct current to the speaker while blocking any AC signal.
- A choke coil with a high inductance value was required to filter out the high-frequency noise in the power supply circuit.
- The choke was carefully selected to ensure that it had a low DC resistance to minimize energy losses in the circuit.
- In the radio transmitter circuit, a choke was used to couple the audio signal to the antenna while preventing any DC voltage from being applied.
