Choke Coil (Noun)
Meaning
A coil of low resistance and high inductance used in electrical circuits to pass direct current and attenuate alternating current.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The choke coil is an essential component in the power supply circuit to filter out unwanted AC ripples and allow only DC to pass through.
- In the switching regulator design, the choke coil was used to reduce the AC component and improve the overall efficiency of the circuit.
- The choke coil was inserted in series with the load resistor to block any AC signals that might be present in the supply voltage.
- The manufacturer specified a high-inductance choke coil to be used in the circuit to ensure effective filtering of the AC noise.
- The choke coil's low resistance and high inductance made it an ideal choice for use in the audio amplifier's power supply circuit to reduce hum and noise.
