*These videos take a long time to make* if you would like to buy Paul a coffee to say thanks, link below: ☕

Would have been helpful to hear *why* we'd have an inductor at all. Also, doesn't some current (or water) still flow in one path even if there's an easier path?

As an EE, I think this video would have benefitted from an explanation of what inductors are, and why they operate the way they do, before you get into the how. Touching on Len'z law would have helped a lot

Man, this is the best video I've seen explaining inductors. I still remember how hard it was for me to understand inductors when I was studying electronics back in the day. Kids have it so easy nowadays.

Inductors are primarily used in AC (and switched DC) circuits but explaining how they work at a basic level is very difficult in AC circuits (because you end up having to explain reactance, impedance, phase shifts etc.). The battery + inductor + light is not a practical circuit, but it does eloquently explain how they work (current 'inertia' via magnetic field), which is the purpose of the video.

I have no word to explain how much I am impressed by your tutorials. Modern institutes should learn from you. How to teach their students. I am so excited. you guys absolutely incredible. 👏 ❤ love you guys.

[FixDaily]

As a teacher, i have to say that you have done an awesome analogy since the beginning.
Congratulations.

[sakibhasan]

This is hands down the most amazing and intuitive approach I've ever seen on inductor.kudos man! you guys are the reason I got my interest back at Electrical Engineering

[theredcelt]

This is actually a better explanation than I learned in electrical school.

It seems like what you are describing is a capacitor. How would you describe that an inductor can act like a capacitor and how are they different? I normally think of an inductor as a device used to cause current on another, non-electrically connected nearby circuit while a capacitor stores energy like a battery within a circuit typically used to reduce variance in voltages over time or to provide some electrical bursts for some applications. Appreciate your videos and helping me better understand what you are trying to share here. Thanks.

Even with this great explanation I dont understand real use of them. I see lot of them on electronic boards: PC motherboards, videocards, power supply units and it always amazes me.

[asparagusmelontoast]

Im researching magnetism and electricity this video is informative thanks

It would've been nice to add at the end of the video where and why inductors are used to better fix the concepts in mind, but still a great video

[bassangler]

Cool video, us Ham radio operators use inductors frequently to match the radio to antenna impedance mismatch

[prolocon]

4:52
If the inductor will eventually act like a normal piece of wire with no resistance, what's stopping it from creating a short circuit?

[FoodOnCrack]

so at 3:08, we basically made a short circuit? Also, why would we use inductors? What are their purpose other than having a light turn on very briefly when opening and then closing a contact?

[tjkoker]

What is the difference then between a capacitor and an inductor. Examples of inductors? THANKS.

Posting this to a couple of Amateur Radio facebook groups - a great explanation! Thank you

[Watchyn_Yarwood]

Your animations are incredibly good and your explanations are spot on!

Is the purpose of the inductor to act as a kind of shock absorber?
