Reactor (Inductor): Definition and TypesA reactor, also known as an inductor, generates a magnetic field within the surrounding space when current flows through a conductor. Therefore, any current-carrying conductor inherently possesses inductance. However, the inductance of a straight conductor is small and produces a weak magnetic field. Practical reactors are constructed by winding the conductor into a solenoid shape, known as an air-core reactor. To further increase inductance, a ferromagnet
