=== Bypass cap===*Bypass cap== Choke ==An inductor is also known as a "choke."  A choke is often used as a power supply filter.  Inductors use a circuit element consisting of a coil of wire would on a core material made of ferrous or non-ferrous material.  An inductor resists changes in the flow of electric current through it, because it generates a magnetic field that acts to oppose the flow of current through it, which means that the current cannot change instantaneously in the inductor.  This property makes inductors very useful for filtering out residual ripple in a power supply, or for use in signal shaping filters.
