choking coil
    n 1: a coil of low resistance and high inductance used in
         electrical circuits to pass direct current and attenuate
         alternating current [syn: choke, choke coil, choking
         coil]

Choking coil \Choking coil\ (Elec.)
   A coil of small resistance and large inductance, used in an
   alternating-current circuit to impede or throttle the
   current, or to change its phase; -- called also reactance
   coil or reactor, these terms being now preferred in
   engineering usage.
