The inductance primarily serves to limit current flow to the correct level for the tube. It also can be used during startup to provide an inductive 'kick' forming a higher-voltage pulse to start the lamp.

The choke is used to give a surge of current during start up. This choke coupled with a relay (or sort of switch) will start to magnetize to its max capacity, once attained maximum level, relay trips and the choke start to discharge thus providing initial surge of current need to light on the fluorescent tube.

The 'choke' is an inductor whose purpose is to limit the current flowing through the tube after the gas has ionised.

How choke coil limit current to the fluorescent tube?

A choke coil, also known as a ballast, limits the current to a fluorescent tube by providing a high impedance to the flow of current. This high impedance restricts the current flowing through the tube, allowing it to operate within its required current range. The choke coil also helps regulate the starting voltage and stabilize the operation of the tube.

Which choke tube should you use on the jc Higgins model 20 12 ga?

The choke you use depends on your target rather than the type of shotgun. For example: if you are shooting skeet, you would use improved or modified cylinder, but if you are shooting trap, you would use full choke.
