What electrical component is typically constructed as a coil of wire?
- A.Transistor
- B.Capacitor
- C.Diode
- D.Inductor (correct answer)
WhyAn inductor is typically constructed as a coil of wire. An inductor is typically built by winding wire into a coil, since that shape concentrates the magnetic field the component relies on, answer D. A transistor (A) and diode (C) are semiconductor devices, and a capacitor (B) is built from plates and a dielectric, none of which is a coil of wire.
