You know I am an old fart who has haunted this old planet for more years then I would care to admit. I have been playing with electronics before the concept became even a bit popular, I cut my teeth on popular electronics and popular science magazines, garnered from the school library and with half their covers torn off by the local drug store (you recall the drug store, where you could get a coke or a soda and comic books right?) At any rate all this time I have grown up with the semiconductor world, and worked on the fringe of the electronic world in the military. That said, it was not until today that anyone explained so clearly that the bell in my head rang with understanding of exactly how inductance really worked. Sure I always knew that it did something to the electricity, but never really understood how a simple coil of wire managed to do it. Now I do, and for that I shall be eternally grateful. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Not to devalue the video, but rather to encourage the continued hunt for comprehension of electronics, I will tell you that your ‘Eureka’ moment would have likely come to you sooner or later. I agree, and I came to understand the concept in a whole new, more comprehensive way thanks to this video, as well. Electronics is like language. I’ve been sort of pretending to understand and follow along in texts and in videos, and I’ll keep faking my understanding, until, one moment will bring clarity to me, and my understanding will just get this huge sort of promotion out of one comment, or illustration. One moment I have no idea what this means, it reads like a language I don’t understand, like Chinese, then, in that one golden Eureka moment, the whole thing comes together, and I have more thoroughly understood another concept, and that’s really the reward, the pay off for my continued efforts to learn electronics.

An inductor is a coil, think of a coil spring storing energy, not the same, but compressing then releasing. If you push an object against a spring it will adsorb energy, but after the object (electricity) is removed the spring releases its energy (current). The more weight (electricity) is pushed, the more the coil spring compresses. An inductor stores energy via a delayed or impeded buildup of a magnetic field, which is an initial resistance to change - This concept is used in oscillating circuits designs.

Maybe you’ve done so in another video, and maybe there’s an easy answer to my question, but I’d recommend discussing this topic if you agree that it’s really lacking attention on the usual channels. So what is a Henry / or a milliHenry, and why is it called a Henry?! I know I can look it up to find out, but to hear someone lecture about it makes it more interesting and even more understandable. I’m curious about the Henry(s)!? I don’t even know 100% whether I’m correct in calling it a Henry, so please consider this as a short video topic, or tie it in with another project video? Thank you, the animation slides are great, and the visuals go right along with the speaking, it’s great!

nope. what it does is simple, you see if you set up current through it using a battery into its steady state and switch off suddenly. the magnetic field in it will collapse, or in other words reduces gradually. how ever the reason for gradual loss is explained with faradays law. faraday explained if change in current is occurred that will give rise to emf. this emf is to maintain the magnetic field as this follows current will generate through the coil if its sinked in another path.

I still don't understand. Current passes, creates an MF, which collapses if no current is flowing, because of the switch, which allows the current to flow every other second. Current is not flowing -> MF collapses -> release current. Isn't current flowing before? Or does current rises because the MF collapses?

@ahmedbichmou80737 жыл бұрын
Both capacitor and inductor are used and called storage elements. Capacitor stores charge in the form of electrons while inductor stores it in terms of current as it slows it down.The current( rate of change of electrons with respect to time )flowing through the inductor will create a magnetic filed that will oppose the flow of electrons until it reaches the maximum storage and that is related the number and length of coils. In DC circuits the inductor will charge and behave like short circuit and capacitor will behave like an open circuit because there is no opposing force to change the direction of electrons from one plate to another. I hope this answers your question!!

7805 is a voltage regulator it will do its purpose of providing 5 Vo however how long can it withstand its thermal heating capacity? For that reason we use DC-DC converters for better efficiency and easy switching with MOSFET controlled regular pulse activation. Just like a Transformer in AC circuits, these kind of DC-DC transformations r used like ex: Boost, Buck or Buck-Boost converters.

The thing is, inductors and capacitors work different using dc vs ac. I'm willing to bet the rlc circuits you're studying are connected to ac? In AC the easiest thing to remember is that an inductor acts like a resistor. The phrase "ELI the ICE man" may also help you when figuring out when voltage(E) leads or lags the current(I) in a capacitor (C) and inductor (L)
