Definitions

1. n. a coil of low resistance and high inductance used in electrical circuits to pass direct current and attenuate alternating current
2. A coil of small resistance and large inductance, used in an alternating-current circuit to impede or throttle the current, or to change its phase; --called also reactance coil or reactor, these terms being now preferred in engineering usage.
3. A coil of small resistance and large inductance, used in analternating-current circuit to impede or throttle the current, or tochange its phase; --called also reactance coil or reactor, theseterms being now preferred in engineering usage.
