I've learned more about electronics on this channel than I did in physics in college.

I love how you explain about this, my teacher always explained to the classes like spelling a magic. After he finished spelling, i dont know why all the students like got amnesia, even me.

Mr GreatScott! I have a physics exam tomorrow and it's all about coils and lens law and I think that God had sent you to rescue me .

You have no ideia how rare is your video. Simple and directly to the point. I mean rare because I'm watching several videos and very few explain right.

I'm studying to be an engineer and this really helped me visualize what they taught in our circuits class

when you talked about how we have a field in our bodies bc we act like an antenna it made me think of something i realized as a kid, mp3player's that have a radio option but require headphones to work the radio use your head as a way to get signal. i found this out bc slight twists of my head could make me lose signal to some stations. i thought it was cool. you could even boost signal by touching the earbuds with your fingers.

That info about the human body generating a 50 hz signal blew my mind. It cleared so many of my doubts!

Thanks! This was actually a VERY helpful video. As a beginner in this area of science, I am very grateful for the thorough explanation and example. Thank you.

Best explanation of inductors on youtube imo! It helps if you think of current as a slower version of voltage.

Big thanks for all this Scott, I stumbled upon you and now look forward to seeing more, keep up the good work.

Just want to thank you for the videos, find them entertaining and educating. I'm in my thirties and haven't done anything with electronics since I was in my mid teens as I've been on the programming side. these videos just nicely click my memories back into place.

I really appreciate what you're doing man I believe a lot of people might be also thankful for what you do please keep it going!

I wish this video was LONGER you do such a good job.

Man you are awesome I can't thank you enough. You teach the electronic much better than my high-school teacher, and you have great equipment over there. Thanks again for the all of your videos. Waiting for the next one.

A very clear and concise video. A great job of explaining the function of coils/inductors.

Great explanation, keep making these videos!

I just watched 2 of your videos and subscribed because I actually understood this one, and it helped me understand a lot more about the tools I use daily in SaaS. The other was the explanation you gave on salvaging parts. It was like (a summary of) a book summary on what is inside of those things, for us non-hardware folks.

Thanks for the many great Screenshots, very comprehensive.

I can't believe i finally understand what these coils are for, thanks for a great and easily understood lesson!!

Your channel is probably the best electronics channel on KZfaq :)

You have a gift for explaining things. Thank you for everything.

Your English is better than my understanding of Electronics. I Know Nothing! Hogan! ;-)

Thanks for the info. In all of your videos you explain really well :) Keep up the good work!!!

i am studying for next year engineering xams and these videos Really help me understand why and how these things works keep it up

I really love your tutorial! Thank you so much!

thanks really helpful you've given me the chance to learn about my hobbies on a deeper level

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on coils with all of us....

Your videos are the BEST on youtube !

What an excellent channel. Subscribed and Liked.

I din know someone could make a someone what mundane topic so interesting. ... Simply fantastic, great scott is awesome

great video. lot of info I was looking explained in such a short video.

Ahhh u briefly mention boost converters in this video. Even that small diagram helped solidify what I understand about them. Thanks!

GreatScott! Amazing video please keep up the good work!!

You are an excellent teacher. I know a few EE's who doesn't know anything in comparison with you.

So glad you're doing your electronics lessons again!

Excellent. You've got a great channel. Keep up the good work.

Yes, your info videos are so helpful! Thank you!

Awesome video!!!! Thank you for breaking everything down into lamen terms.

Love this video! I always wanted to see on a scope what happens when you vary inductance in a circuit. I wish I would have seen this video years ago when I was in college. thanks. :)

you explain better than my teachers thank you thank you thank you

Best video on explaining inductor and its application

Okay that intro is awesome very unique and cool

thanks a lot for this awesome videos with good demonstrative explanations

Truly Great Scott , can u please make detailed videos on BOOST , BUCK , and BUCK-BOOST converters

Nice and informative! Thank you.

AWESOME EXPLANATION, .THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.

When I was a little kid i would hook up a 9v battery to a coil and when I disconnected it i noticed I would get shocked. So I added few wires to end of the coil. Had some handles to ends and had kids at school hold on to them. So they would get shocked when I turned it on and off. It was quick pulse nothing to painful. Just fun and games. This makes sense now. Later on I used a 120v wall adapter transformer and had it the opposite way. Added a small Dc motor so it would turn on and off really fast. So if you held on to it. You would not be able to let go.

very good way to explained. Thanks.

nice tutorial, now I can continue building 9v to 12v converter thx.

I love your videos a have inspired me to do what you do.

good as always GreatScott!, good as always.....

This was very helpful!

Great explanations. Thanks.

Great teaching. Thank you

Why I didnt had an electronic teacher like Great Scott in College?INspiring

Another great video especially like your DIY bench power supply which I am trying to recreate using a 10A 12V input supply,should be good when finished 😉

great job man i following you from egypt

Great Scott is really great!

Well, hmmm, I understand most electronics on any circuit board, I was very excited to see you doing this one on coils. I still, well you lost me. I'll watch it again. I wish you had given an example say in a common circuit like a small amplifier, and show the difference with and without the coil. Also what is the difference between a coil and a choke? I need to watch this again.

resistance is futile.

I love your videos! Fantastic..

I really in love with ur vdos

Very clear. Subbed!

Great video, thank you!

Deine videos sind sehr genial, vielen dank

i like this guy's tones. pretty

Thanks Great Scott

Dear @GreatScott! so is it safe to assume that it never hurts to have a flyback diode at the ends of every induction coil we make at home no matter the use?

Great video.

Great explanation. I develop training videos and you have given me some good ideas. Thank you.

Thank you 🙏 Very helpful

Hey I love your videos!!!! Do you post your notes that you have in your videos?

Would you make a video about measuring inductance or build a inductance meter? It is really useful.

great channel! thank you very very very much!

Tell us more about radio frequency. Maybe building a very cheap Pocket radio?

It is really useful for me.thank you

I want to connect my 12v dc motor to a adjustable plug in power supply for purposes of making a small lathe(ergo the engine load will be high when applying chisel to wood). Do I have to use a fly back diode like shown to protect the coils of the plug in trafo?

Best channel ever

Love this guy's accent!

I like the water analogy for inductors: A water pipe with a heavy (flywheel-like) turbine put inline. It takes some work to get it spinning, but then when you disconnect the input - it still wants to spin for a bit. If there is no output path - the pressure will momentarily rise as the water is "kicked" by the inertia of the flywheel. Water pressure=voltage, flow speed=amperage, water volume flow rate=power, pipe diameter/flow impedance=resistance, static pressure needed to open 1-way valve=forward voltage

Great Video

your lc meter is f** awesome !!! good video !!

Great video....

hi, what can we do with the high voltage transfos (found on switch power supply) ? thx

u helped me a lot thx !!!!!

cool lesson :)

a nice teacher gifts

GreatScott!

great explained :D

Scott your Great😎 well presented When you say "iron" the R needs to be silent. It's more I -on. It did make me smile, love the channel and ALL your videos an projects.

You're an excellent teacher! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your English is good too! What is your first language?

You're a genius!🙂👍🏻

Great vid ❤️👍🏻🇬🇧

it so simply explained .

Please do more of those

helping people learn good work A3

The Great Scott

Nice vid bro

Back when this video just uploaded, I was studying grade 7. Right now I'm 1st year college and come back to watch this vide again xD

+greatscott I'm looking to build a simple circuit for an automotive application. In some vehicles, when you shut the doors, the interior light fades off rather than just going flat off. I'd like to incorporate this feature into my pickup truck. Considering all the incandescent bulbs inside have been replaced with LEDs, I don't have to deal much current. I'm thinking a beefy capacitor or two may do the trick, but I'm sure it's more complicated than that. Everything is for some reason. Do you have any suggestions?
