Question
What electrical component is typically constructed as a coil of wire?
Answer Options
- A) Switch
- B) Capacitor
- C) Diode
- D) Inductor
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The physical construction most commonly associated with a component that exhibits inductance is a coil of wire. The coil shape efficiently concentrates the magnetic field that is created when current flows through it.
By having many turns of wire, the magnetic field lines add up, maximizing the component’s ability to store energy in that field. Therefore, an Inductor is typically constructed as a coil of wire (T6A06).
