  • 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.

    I learned more from this video than years in school.

    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.

    i have watched so many tutos on inductance and what they do in circuits but none of them talk about what they are used to in the real world and their effects... you only hear it is used for filtering :(

    that was incredibly comprehensive for a four minute video.

    hello, what are inductors actually used for ?

    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.

    I understand capacitors pretty well, I don't know why inductors are harder for me to wrap my head around.

    sir how to decide the number of turns in an inductor... and to connect with ac how a particular value inductor may be choosen.. .. plz reply thankyou

    if they have no effect on DC, then why is one used in a joule thief to get it to function? Thanks! ...have I mentioned I love this channel LOL

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

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

    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.
