Lesson 1 - What is an Inductor? Learn the Physics of Inductors & How They Work - Basic Electronics

Learn what an inductor is and how it works in this basic electronics tutorial course. First, we discuss the concept of an inductor and explain the physics behind how the magnetic field inside of the inductor coil can store energy.
We then discuss how the voltage across an inductor is proportional to how fast the current through the inductor changes. We close by discussing how the magnetic field is concentrated inside of the inductor.
In this electronics course, we cover how an inductor works and how to use inductors in circuits. We explain how capacitors and inductors are closely related, and how to use inductors in electric circuits..

    I have never ever passed maths In school and could not even solve simple equations. It was a disaster. 2006. I finished school and could not get into college due to the absence of maths. The supplementary exams I took was a failure too and I gave up. Until I came across a DVD series titled Fractions through Algerbra in 2014. Thats when my eyes opened and it all began to make sense. Today I am in my 2nd year of Electrical Engineering and Salute the MathTutor for opening up my mind. Much Respect. Keep up the Good Jason.

    Things don't always make sense immediately. Perhaps it just takes longer for some people but I think it depends on the quality of the teaching. Concepts weren't always clear to me when I was a student but became clearer later. Good luck with your work.

    Voltage difference across a straight wire and an inductor (coiled wire) is 0 with stable current. Voltage difference across an inductor momentarily lags behind current change. Current fluctuation produces inductor oscillation, and inductor oscillation emits electromagnetic pulses. So much to learn... hope this helps some folks, thanks for the lesson.

If you say "di/dt" is how fast the current changes, then why it is also related to the amplitude of the current? Got a little confused. Thanks!
