Choking 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 engineer carefully selected a choking coil with the right inductance to filter out the unwanted AC component from the DC power supply.
- In the radio receiver circuit, a choking coil was used to block the AC signal and allow only the DC voltage to pass through.
- The audio amplifier's power supply used a choking coil to reduce the hum and noise caused by the AC mains.
- To prevent the AC signal from interfering with the DC biasing circuit, a choking coil was inserted in series with the power supply.
- The filter circuit employed a choking coil to attenuate the high-frequency AC components and allow only the low-frequency DC signal to pass through.
