What is an INDUCTOR?

Learn how inductors work in your circuit, and how to combine them in series and parallel. Inductors are a classic electronics component that doesn't get much love in the hobby world, but they're super powerful, and crucial for most AC projects!

Hey, even though this channel has been "left behind", I really appreciate the easily digestable learning resources. As the first generation in my family to enter higher education I feel the significant knowledge gap between me and my peers from engineering families, but this channel has really helped a lot in bridging some of the gaps I find difficult to ask for help for, especially for workshop tools. Big thanks to you for creating this channel!

[@SuperPutzPutz]

I made an AC Voltage Divider, but when I connect a load device to it, it causes the voltage output to lower, so I think I have to some impedance matching with an inductor since the Voltage Divider uses capacitors. I connected the primary coil of a transformer in parallel with the load device and it raised the voltage much higher, but to reach exactly 120 volts I think I will need a variable inductor. Thanks for this video. 😊

[@alexabadi7458]

If you plan to study electromagnetic fields you will need a waveform amplifier, they are expensive but useful as an oscilloscope or a function generator. Don't forget to connect a big resistor to it (like a 300 watts, 6.8 ohm).

[@eng.ahmedshakir3366]

Dear...which one is more useful as an inductance. ..1watts or 0.5 watts or 0.25watts for the same value of inductor such as 10milihenrey for example! !!? Coz I have a private project n I want to order online ring colored inductor with value 10mh but there r 3 types of 10mh with different watts ... 1- 1w 2-0.5 w 3-0.25 w I need 10 mh with high inductance so which one of these 3 types is a high inductance? Thanks..😊

[@ror3D]

A bit of what I hope is received as constructive criticism: I've only watched a few of your videos, and even though they are cool, I usually feel like they leave a lot of (a bit more advanced) stuff out that could make them more interesting. In this one, for example, you mention the basic structure for an inductor, and kinda mention a couple of uses, and compare them to resistors for AC, but don't really go into any kind of detail... a description for inductors that really stuck with me was that, similarly to how capacitors store a voltage value, inductors store a current value. Also could have been nice an example on how a transformer wold work, maybe. Another example: on the video about diodes, you only talk about LEDs, which is okay because other uses for diodes are more advanced, but I thought it would be nice to at least mention the increased complexity an LED structure has compared to a simple diode. In all, I have the feeling that if I *only* watched one of the videos, then I might go and research more on the topic, but this is youtube so I expect that people will just go and watch another video after that instead.

[@peachpeach1953]

I think she's doing great lol... especially for people who simply are interested in the basics... I did not understand anything you mentioned tbh

[@kl2873]

Ah but youtube viewers of this kind of material may not be of the same ilk as the memory-inCAPACITated (teehee) viewer of typical youtube content. In any case, these are topics that could be explored in later videos. Write in and suggest them

[@n6jwp]

Funny opening joke. My teacher in junior high school said the same thing when I wanted to join the "Electronic Club" at school. And that was over 45 years ago.

[@greenbeginner9221]

Possibly you can help me with an Electronics mystery. For the past two weeks I have gone through possibly 50 websites and KZbin channels looking for one that will show a beginner the basics of electronics while not assuming that the student has already gone through five years of courses on the subject. One that will show real world translation of a schematic to a physical point-to-point wired circuit. One that does not use what they call a breadboard which merely conceals all the important parts from the student. I thought that this would be an easy item to find, but amazingly nobody teaches this. If you know of such a source, please, please let me know. It would be much appreciated.
