What are inductors? (self-inductance) | Electromagnetic induction | Khan Academy

Self-inductance is the tendency of a coil to resist changes in current in itself. Whenever current changes through a coil, they induce an EMF which is proportional to the rate of change of current, through the coil.

No teacher explain like you in India they just focus on formulas hats off to you sir

[matibrusco]

I've been in Electronics for 20+ years, and this is by far the best explanation about inductors I've seen, great job !

[adammikhail]

I love the way you teach, it's like hearing a story😍

[mery_lv_c]

Indian tutorials are leading in YouTube. I even find tutorials that are rarely made by other nations.👏🏽👏🏽

[shide]

he is funny 😂 I'm giggling while learning

[DiamondsREverrr]

Wow, I read this in the book like ten times over and over trying to fully understand it. I listen to you explain it once and I get fully. Thank you!

[merel]

Hi mister Shenoy! I just want to say that you helpt me a lot! I'm studying Biology at the university in Belgium right now and Physics was always my most difficult subject. BUT NOW I FINALLY GET IT! I love you man, I really do! ❤️

[supertron]

Super useful. Couldn't understand what on earth an inductor was and we have already gone past AC circuits and LCR combinations. But now it all makes much more sense.

[jimgowtham]

Moral of the story :
Final Battle : - Inductance says -- I HATE changes in the current..!!! 😝 Good one sir.

[kripayadav]

The reason for why I love physics is because your way of teaching is make the topics alive and everything gets crystal clear

[warindark]

this gotta be one of the best explanations for the inductions

[tasneem]

Please upload all these before our board exam commence 😭

[Arkad_]

Deep respect for you. Your explanation was detailed and yes we won't forget that the Inductor has no issues with the current just the change In current

[ptyptypty]
