Inductor basics - What is an inductor?

The basics of how inductors work, a demo showing an inductor filtering out high frequency signals, a quick low pass LC filter, and a demo showing the magnetic field created around inductors.

If I could love this video, I would a dozen times. It's incredible how taking the time to make a video with examples is a thousand times more helpful than a textbook for everyone who prefers to learn visually or hands on. I've never been very good at learning much from a book.

Finally. Very, simple, and obvious explanation. For more than ten years inductors were magic to me. I never needed to use them in digital circuits but always was wondering how they work. That is so simple! Thanks. Do more videos about them! Also about units used and transformers.

Using a square wave to demonstrate the effect of frequency on the behavior of an inductor was used to great effect in this video. Just looking at time/current plots doesn't often get the point across but showing how a series inductor can transform a square wave into a triangular waveform (and explaining the current lag) really gets the point across. Thanks.

I learned more from this video than years in school.

[Kane-ibsn]

that was cool. this guy knows what he's talking about. when you know what you're talking about, the explanation flows like water.

Great job, it’s hard to find videos today that can do things simple enough for you to understand but still gives a basic understanding of things.

[NotLegato]

that was incredibly comprehensive for a four minute video.

There are people out there who tend to complicate even simplest things. You, however, have the gift of making complex ideas simple and easy to grasp. Thank you.

[upendrachaudhari]

oh boy this is the best ever video based on inductor, you have so much clarity in the concepts

[w.rustylane]

You have kept me interested enough to warrant a subscription. I am learning electronics on my own and need explanations of what is going on in circuitry. You make learning fun! Thanks for posting and I will be viewing more of your videos.

I love electronics but my learning disability prevents me from keeping up at school. Your video is very helpful to me though, because I can learn at my own phase by watching your videos anytime I want.

Thanks for this video! I'm studying for finals on Electricity and Magnetism and this video really helped me to understand inductors. You made it way easier to understand than my Physics professor. Thank you!

[DavidMonterey]

I love your use of an inductor to show the action of an inductor. That is the kind of thing that gets people thinking.

[kaustubh]

the best video explaining inductors I've ever seen... thanks a lot.

[moozadell]

this was an excellent video. i came here because i'm in a networking class and learning that fiber optics is used to eliminate the problem of inductance. you explained everything perfectly. thank you

[schmittenhammer]

Your videos are short and too the point. THANK YOU! Very educational

[adsalazar]

extremely helpful video!! i hate physics and this is my last semester, but i'll start watching your vids, really helped, thanks a lot.

[daevyd]

My favourite electronics channel! Keep up the good work.

[ericso]

You are surely raree and unique. Hard to find someone with this knowledge and is great teaching and sharing it to ppl.

[MUSTASCHO]

This is great! I studied modules on fundamental electronics in the earlier years of my course but it's all a bit fuzzy now so this saved me a lot of time. Nice one.
