10 Best Cars for the Great American Road Trip. PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- The Great American Road Trip isn't dead, it just needs some tweaking. Getting out the map, seeing the country and sleeping where the day takes you is a grand tradition that the automobile is becoming less and less vital to.
Another benefit from the use of toroids is that shield cans aren't necessary in order to isolate the toroidal coil from adjacent components. Toroids have an inherent self-shielding property. Specifically, the field from a toroidal inductor is pretty much self-contained.
Part of the Electronics glossary: A toroid is a coil of insulated or enameled wire wound on a donut-shaped form made of powdered iron. A toroid is used as an inductor in electronic circuits, especially at low frequencies where comparatively large inductances are necessary. A toroid has more inductance , for a given number of turns, than a solenoid with a core of the same material and similar size. This makes it possible to construct high-inductance coils of reasonable physical size and mass.
