I found this explanation to be within tolerances.

[@zettkusanagi6322]

I found your reply "good enough"

[@edinfific2576]

I find your lack of precision disturbing (the stability of the circuit).

[@GalenMatson]

@@edinfific2576 Your desired precision is up to standard.

[@k.r.f.j.b.8144]

@@GalenMatson I too have only positive and no negative views to charge this way of teaching with, and that’s saying a lot since my capacitance for learning is well under spec

[@robinbrowne5419]

Yup. You are right that they are exactly the same but completely different. When I was in college I understood capacitors but not inductors, so I asked the instructor about it. He said "Well. What do you think a capacitor is?" So I said "A rechargeable voltage source". So he said "Then an inductor is a rechargeable current source". It all made sense after that. (Except for calculus with complex numbers. Lol.) Cheers from Canada :-)

[@ebarbie5016]

Lent's law has nothing to do with back EMF, but rather it's related to forward/front EMF. Trying to stop or decrease the current (or magnetic field) of an inductor will cause forward/front EMF that will make sure the current (magnetic field) remains continues. back EMF is actually a result of Farady's law.

[@sweetjetsband]

Love the straight forward explanations in your videos. Something about the way you explain them makes it seem like you're actually just trying to convey to me a concept over beers at the pub rather than in some heady, academic way. You know your stuff and you make it really interesting and easy to grasp! Thanks and keep it up!

7:56 - A fellow chubbyemu viewer 🤪🤪😂😂 16:31 - To all the mathematicians, 1+e ^ (iπ) Nice video as usual BTW 😇

[@tonybp]

Excellent video. And you're so right, I definitely had an easier time understanding capacitors as opposed to inductors, it was a pain for me to grasp inductors with the counter EMF and expanding and contracting magnetic fields, and polarity changes and this and that... ugh. Anyway, love your videos, this was a great refresher for me.

[@YOUTUBYAC]

Symbol of inductance is L honoring physicist Heinrich Lenz. Your explanation about the magnetic field opossing changes in current... that is Lenz's law. :-)

[@simplyput2796]

Because I'm learning on my own instead of at university, I'm kind of coming at everything backwards, so it's a little weird but fun still!

[@HomeMadeBoards]

The L for inductance is for the voltage being out of phase by 90 degrees - represented as an 'L' formation of a node.

Damn man where did you get a life-sized poster of Commander Data. I'm sure I posted this comment before but still.

If your going to chop the video every two second to make it look like you’re a good speaker....don’t be in the shot [eye roll]

[@sneakyboii732]

hello everyone, i have a way to understand inductor reactance easily and intuitively(my take at least)! first, assume the AC case, where we measure signals and such. The inductor is replaced by its reactance 2*pi*f*L. The voltage across the inductor IS the backwards EMF. Now i know that the direction of the voltage drop is in the same one as the polarity of the signal, but since the EMF subtracts from the total voltage drop, its literally the same. Now, assume we have a signal passing through our inductor, with a frequency. We'll analyze in both high frequency and low frequency cases. Imagine the signal as being an infinite sum of dirac impulses (math concept i learnt in signal processing, its basically a square pulse with an infinitesmally small width and a height of 1, the height could be any unit, and in our case it's volts, and on the x axis we have time in seconds). For the duration of the dirac delta, the EMF decreases, because in that time the current is constant, and the EMF decreases gradually. As the frequency increases, the width of the dirac impulse decreases because the voltage changes more rapidly, not giving enough time for the EMF to decrease(in either direction that the signal swings), and thus the voltage across the inductor increases more and more (because the EMF decreases less and less) and at very high frequencies the voltage of the signal will be dropped entirely on the inductor, or the EMF will decrease extremely little after each change in voltage. In the low frequency case, the voltage drop across the inductor decreases because the impulses have a longer duration, in which the current is stable and the EMF has more time to decrease until the next impulse, making the voltage drop at the end of each impulse and right before we move onto the next, smaller. Anyways, that's my take at least. Simply Put, thanks so much for the video, without it I might not have figured out this stuff! I'll try figure out the capacitor next and I'll post it here too! If I am wrong in any way, please, correct me. And if you have any questions, please ask!

I saw this inductor current on the O'scope when I built a telegraph. Once I would hit the key, and release the Code Key, there would be a momentary Strong Spike "A Spark ' produced by the coil in the ' Clapper' I had to install a Diode to prevent burning of the points in the code key from this spike. It's a nice basic experiment with Coils and Back Current ...

[@waterfuel]

Back in 2008 , there was a circuit I read about that added 100v to the existing circuit that was going forward as pulse on/off 40V DC about 6amps. There was no capacitor. The part added was a sealed 60cycles AC relay in vacuum with dual inductors 1.6Millihenry each, of .6ohm. Diode in front of 1st coil L in series with internal diode in between L coils then that 2nd coil L in series with another output diode. Did this arrangement just happen to be lucky and obtain the needed extra 100volts forward? Back EMF forced forward as flyback voltage put to use? I have many inductors to practice with and I need to get just voltage to superimpose on to circuit line. 100v or a miniature autotransformer.

[@pablojvazquez]

8:31 'You've increased the current, the magnetic field is not strong enough yet..' What do you mean by 'is not strong yet'? Or let me put it in another way: Why does the current increase? I mean, if the inductor initially blocks the current (I=0 at t=0), why it does not continue to block all the current?

[@247chiranjeevi]

you are blinking a lot. i was like that until i fixed my vitamin B12 deficiency. get it checked. are you a vegetarian? its more likely if you are.

[@michaelszczys8316]

I thought you said you weren't going to do any complicated math? Complicated enough to be too much for me. I'm someone who can picture the workings of a complicated automatic transmission or other elaborate mechanical apparatus but can't do numbers beyond simple shop type math. I'm trying hard to understand electronics without much math. It's tough. I like your explaining operation of inductors, I think you advanced my understanding of those components quite a bit. Until you got into the numbers, then you lost me.

[@Tyler75D]

A bit late to the party here, but I like your videos! Very interesting and informative, and straight to the point! Exactly what I was looking for :)

[@mikejones-vd3fg]

My confusion with capacitors is that how do they discharge electrons if theres a barrier between them? Whats funny is a I found a book called electromagnetism and when i opned it on a random page it was about metal conducting, and they said that how electricity really flows is a question only quantum mechanics can answer. And maybe why the confusion and unhelpful anologies used when describing capacitors, and maybe there is something to Veritasium's claim that electricity doesnt actually flow through wires, but in the magneti field around the wire connection? or something like that. Maybe this would help alliveiate the problems in understanding inductors too? I dont know, im still on step 0 on electical components ie - I understqand wires carry electricit,y but see maybe thats the problem... not really understanding the basics like step 0 is why we're having trouble understanding everything else.

[@chrischadwick7941]

A wise man once told me I can harvest emf with a inductor and that'll feed a capacitor and with a diode I can send that charge to a cell to store the energy. Can you simplify this as you have with your hi pass low pass understanding. We live in a world with a constant 7hrz and the right shape inductor can be harmonically tuned to this?

[@danieljohnson8437]

[@g.d.8065]

One way to think of capacitors in series (conceptually) is to add up the gaps within each one. Capacitance is inversely proportional to distance, therefore distance is inversely proportional to capacitance, so you add up the inverses of each capacitor to get the sum of the distances, and then take the inverse of the result to get the total capacitance. (Capacitance is also directly proportional to plate surface area, but it works out anyway. You could probably think of the surface area simply being distributed across the plates, but I'm not sure). While I did come up with the intuition for the formula myself, the actual conceptualization of adding distances is taken from one of Eugene Khutoryansky's videos (which I highly recommend). Parallel inductors can be thought of as being akin to resistors with values that decrease over time. Therefore, the formula for resistors in parallel also works in this context (adding up the currents flowing through each and then taking the inverse to get the effective inductance. Two identical inductors in parallel have the same current as a single inductor with half the inductance).

It was excellent. I felt like sitting in front of u in class room

[@northgork]

@Simply Put. Just joined your excellent channel. Being able to explain this in laymen's terms like you do it is just pure genius. Most academics cannot teach but you certainly can. I am sure many EE grads do not have the depth of understanding that you have too. By the way Eugene Khutoryansky (a physics prof.) has a video that explains capacitors really well. Well worth a watch if you have not seen it yet. Basically as the electrons build up on one of the plates they repel the electrons on the opposite the plate thereby creating a current flow. Anyway, love your insights. Thank you.

my question is unrelated to this topic, can you explain the difference between UA741 and lm741?

[@simplyput2796]

Looking at the datasheets, the LM741 looks like it just handles more voltage, so it'd be better for large amp setups with huge supplies. I use the LM358 that doesn't have the offset-null pins, so that's new to me, but it looks like both the LM741 and UA741 would be much more accurate and stable because of the offset-null pins.

I was looking at a buck converter circuit and trying to figure out the role of the inductor and the capacitor right after the switch, but I found myself unable to tell what exactly the difference in function was of the inductor and a capacitor. So I looked for a video explaining the two. I do not understand 100% of what you just explained but things make so much more sense now. I am saving this and probably going to rewatch it over and over again, having it make more sense everytime I watch it. Very good video.
