Electronic Basics #12: Coils / Inductors (Part 1)

In this video I will explain why coils/inductors are so important in different DC circuits. I will talk about magnetic fields (MF), induction, Lenz Law and inductance. The example circuits include: boost converter, buck converter and flyback diode protection.

I've learned more about electronics on this channel than I did in physics in college.

Mr GreatScott!
I have a physics exam tomorrow and it's all about coils and lens law and I think that God had sent you to rescue me .

[kafeltz]

You have no ideia how rare is your video. Simple and directly to the point. I mean rare because I'm watching several videos and very few explain right.

[yusrilbagas]

I love how you explain about this, my teacher always explained to the classes like spelling a magic.

After he finished spelling, i dont know why all the students like got amnesia, even me.

[amadeuscardenas]

I really appreciate what you're doing man I believe a lot of people might be also thankful for what you do please keep it going!

[emertes]

I'm studying to be an engineer and this really helped me visualize what they taught in our circuits class

[LPFan]

Best explanation of inductors on youtube imo! It helps if you think of current as a slower version of voltage.

[jacobmartin]

Thanks! This was actually a VERY helpful video. As a beginner in this area of science, I am very grateful for the thorough explanation and example. Thank you.

That info about the human body generating a 50 hz signal blew my mind. It cleared so many of my doubts!

[houseofelectronics]

Your channel is probably the best electronics channel on YouTube :)

[mustafasuzen]

Man you are awesome I can't thank you enough. You teach the electronic much better than my high-school teacher, and you have great equipment over there. Thanks again for the all of your videos. Waiting for the next one.

[davey]

I wish this video was LONGER you do such a good job.

[keepironman]

when you talked about how we have a field in our bodies bc we act like an antenna it made me think of something i realized as a kid, mp3player's that have a radio option but require headphones to work the radio use your head as a way to get signal. i found this out bc slight twists of my head could make me lose signal to some stations. i thought it was cool. you could even boost signal by touching the earbuds with your fingers.

[webzterd]

Just want to thank you for the videos, find them entertaining and educating. I'm in my thirties and haven't done anything with electronics since I was in my mid teens as I've been on the programming side. these videos just nicely click my memories back into place.

[bladerunner]

You are an excellent teacher. I know a few EE's who doesn't know anything in comparison with you.

[KimKozak]

I just watched 2 of your videos and subscribed because I actually understood this one, and it helped me understand a lot more about the tools I use daily in SaaS. The other was the explanation you gave on salvaging parts. It was like (a summary of) a book summary on what is inside of those things, for us non-hardware folks.

[peckelhaze]

A very clear and concise video. A great job of explaining the function of coils/inductors.

[AbhishekVerma-uslb]

i am studying for next year engineering xams and these videos Really help me understand why and how these things works keep it up

[RealDjMarkuZ]

Why I didnt had an electronic teacher like Great Scott in College?INspiring

[Abyssal]

Big thanks for all this Scott, I stumbled upon you and now look forward to seeing more, keep up the good work.
