Editing Magnetic core (section)

=== Planar core ===

A planar core consists of two flat pieces of magnetic material, one above and one below the coil. It is typically used with a flat coil that is part of a [[printed circuit board]]. This design is excellent for [[mass production]] and allows a high [[power (physics)|power]], small [[volume]] [[transformer]] to be constructed for low cost. It is not as ideal as either a '''pot core''' or '''toroidal core'''{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}} but costs less to produce.
