4. THEORY:

The term Choke itself represents smother, block and the term Coil Itself indicates a
reactor consisting of a spiral of insulated wire that introduces inductance into a circuit.
Definition: An inductor which provides high impedance to alternating current with little
resistance to direct current.

A "choke" is the common name given to an inductor that is used as a power supply filter
element. They are typically gapped iron core units, similar in appearance to a small
transformer, but with only two leads exiting the housing. The current in an inductor
cannot change instantaneously; that is, inductors tend to resist any change in current flow.
This property makes them good for use as filter elements, since they tend to "smooth out"
the ripples in the rectified voltage waveform. Typically an inductor is designed to have
high reactance to a particular frequency when used in signal carrying circuit. They are
inductances that isolate AC frequency currents from certain areas of radio circuit. Choke
coil depends upon the property of self inductance for their operation. They are used to
block alternating current while passing direct current.

Types and Construction:


Chokes used in radio circuit are divided into two classes those designed to
be used with audio frequencies, and the others to be used with radio frequencies
Audio Frequency coils, usually called A.F chokes, have ferromagnetic
iron cores to increase their inductance. Chokes for higher frequencies (ferrite
chokes) have ferrite cores. Chokes for even higher frequencies have air cores.
Radio frequency coils, (R.F Chokes), usually don’t have iron cores. In
high power service so much heat would be produced in making and destroying the
field in the core that the coil would burn up.
In general a choke coil is nothing but an inductance with some internal
resistance and at higher frequencies the current is almost confined to the surface
of the conductor this effect is also known as skin effect. This can be explained as
if we consider a conductor then as we move from the axis of the conductor the
inductance decreases it means more opposition to the flow of alternating current
takes place at the center (along the axis) and less opposition to the flow of current
along the surface (which is at some distance from the center).so current is only
confined to the surface. Since the resistance to flow will depend on Area of cross
section of conductor, length of conductor, specific resistance of conductor. When
current is confined only to the surface of the conductor obviously the area of cross
section through which current flow decreases so the resistance to flow increases
as per the relation
R α (1/Arae of cross section)
So the R ac is greater than the R dc.
And in general Rac is 20% more than Rdc, and they are connected by the relation
Rac =1.2Rdc.
Applications:
1. Power choke coil in general household appliance and industrial equipment
Ex: fluorescent lamps,TV sets, video appliance, Etc.
2. Common mode choke coil used to reduce a type of electrical noise known as common
mode noise. And the Electro-magnetic Interference in the circuits is one source of
electrical noise E.M.I induces or couples unwanted electrical signals into the circuit to
filter out these undesirable signals without affecting the desired signal these CMI is
used.
Ex: AC Power lines
3. It is used in radio circuits and to smooth the output of a rectifying circuit.
4. It is used in High speed telecommunications
5. Used as a picking coil in filtering applications
6. These are mainly used in USB cables.
Ex: for example in our computer some parts to be given some 3VDC so its value
should not be effected by the other cables in which AC is flowing .so for this what
we do is we will pass the cable through the choke coil even if there is any AC
signal that is trying to effect the desired value will only confined to the surface of
the choke coil
7. It is used in Electrical Isolation Transformers.
Ex: If there is any short circuit problem then the entire circuit will gets damaged
so to avoid Isolation Transformers(N1=N2)
8. In a class AB power Amplifier to prevent power dissipation at the collector it is used.

5. PRECAUTIONS

1. All Connections should be tight


2. Supply should be switched off before making or breaking connections.
3. All meters should be kept horizontally
4. Readings must be taken without parallax error.
5. Check the variac output voltage is at zero volt position or not, if not bring to zero volt
position.
6. The meters should be checked for zero reading before connecting them in the circuit.

6. PROCEDURE
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. Suitable AC supply is taken by keeping the variac in minimum output position.
3. The reading are taken by varying the variac in such a way that the current through
and the voltage across the Choke coil should not exceed the rating of it.
4. After getting 4 or 5 readings supply is off and find resistance, Inductance, impedance,
quality factor and the power factor of the Choke coil.
