Alternating current
Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction.
See Choke (electronics) and Alternating current
Audio frequency
An audio frequency or audible frequency (AF) is a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human.
See Choke (electronics) and Audio frequency
Basket winding
Basket winding (or basket-weave winding or honeycomb winding or scatter winding) is a winding method for electrical wire in a coil. Choke (electronics) and basket winding are electromagnetic coils.

Common-mode signal
In electrical engineering, a common-mode signal is the identical component of voltage present at both input terminals of an electrical device.

Current clamp
In electrical and electronic engineering, a current clamp, also known as current probe, is an electrical device with jaws which open to allow clamping around an electrical conductor.

Current limiting reactor
In electrical engineering, current limiting reactors can reduce short-circuit currents, which result from plant expansions and power source additions, to levels that can be adequately handled by existing distribution equipment.
