The deceptively simple wire coil that proves incredibly useful in the world of electronics - the inductor's ability to store energy in an electromagnetic field is the key to making transformers, electromagnets, and many more components. It truly is an awesome device!

  • I wanted to thank you for this explanation. The world is full of people who

    can explain things.  Few do it well. You actually made the concept understandable as well as entertaining. If I had you for an electronics instructor, I wouldn't be such a loser today... Well, I'd probably still be a loser, but I'd

    be a really smart loser.

    Thank you, and keep up the excellent work.

  • @xnp70 About all of this, I don't understand why they draw schematics in the conventional flow manner. Does the serial order of the loads not matter? Does it not matter if you put a resister "in front" of something or "behind" it?

  • @xnp70 I was wondering the same thing
