nductors are components that store energy in a magnetic field and are used in many circuit functions.
1.They resist changes in current and are used as choke coils in different frequency ranges. 
2.They help in tuning circuits. When combined with capacitors, they form LC circuits that can select specific frequencies through resonance. 
3.They work as chokes to block unwanted AC signals and smooth DC current in power supplies
4.They are used in filtering circuits together with capacitors to reduce ripple and produce stable DC output. 
5.They are also used in oscillators, which convert DC into AC signals of different wave shapes such as sine, square, and sawtooth waves.
