I pulled some ferrite core chokes out of a Compaq monitor and one had a magnet on the top, held on by heat shrink tubing. I measured the inductance with the magnet on, and it measured 8.2 uH. I cut off the HST and removed the magnet, and the inductance shot up to 35 uH. I think this has something to do with varying the permeability.
I don't remember seeing anything about this kind of choke in any electronics manuals, so I thought I'd do a web search but I came up with nothing. I tried magnetically polarized inductor and magnetic core inductor, but neither gave any info that I could find. Do you know what they call these devices? Thank you.
