Laptop Charger
Take your charger for example, have you ever realized there's an additional cylinder piece on the chord that seems to be there for no reason?
Now people are wondering, what small cylinder?
A ferrite bead, or ferrite choke, is a simple hollow cylinder or bead that is made of ferrite material and that is used in order to suppress or filter the amount of high frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise found in electronic circuits.
It is a kind of electronic choke
