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.

Took me many years to finally understand how inductor works and what is its purpose, thanks to this video. Back in uni when I studied about circuit theory, I never understood inductors

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.

I have watched several videos on electrical basics and have found yours the most helpful thanks for posting!

Wauw awesome. Im homeless and trying to learn repair to get a job. Cant do any heavy lifting anymore but i can not afford course or books. So im very very gradefull for this teaching. Thank you sir. Subbed and liked.

Sir I always like the way you teach us with your sufficient tutorials for electrical component.we usually benefits.

Whoever you are, I deeply love you with my whole soul.

Clear and understandable. It's easy once you know how. I guess you just need the right person to explain it well. Many thanks brother 🤗👍

Ur videos are simply awesome. Keep up the good work

this is amazingly good... all the info in the video... showing the rates of current... everything... a picture and your explanation.. are super.. god bless.. thanks

Loved it...so beautifully explained

Thank you !!! So much !!! I subscribed ! Eazy to understand and just great ! Thank you !!!

Great explaination about inductors.

Quite understandable & Enjoyable, Thank you... Love to see more

I like your work it's Short n well explained , keep going plz

from now on i am your fellow thankyou for your amazing video

Neat explanation. Good work!

Excellent video. Thank you.

Great video thank you for shearing all this knowledge !

superb...sir....i really understood

thank you excellent video but its doing same thing like a capacitor ?

Nice video, what program is it you are demoing this on

How did you generate the signal to turn the mosfet on and off? What frequency did you use? Pity you didn't show the full circuit.

hi there, i watched and continue watching every single video of you from the start to the beggining and i can really say that it helped me a lot with my projects and i would like to say you a thousand times thank you for this, now i'm dealing with a simple boost converter circuit surely without all the chips and the op amp and all the complicated stuff, i scavenged some electronic components from a variety of tvs printers and all monitors like that but i have a problem with the coils, so i'm asking you if you can make a video about the mathematics behind it in order to, for example, make and inductor with an average uH precalculated, what is the relation between the numer of turns, the thikness of the wire and the length of the solenoid, and how does a ferrite core can change the value of the inductance, and again thank you for your videos you're amazing !

Come back! I love ur vids.

Thank you for the video!!

The inductor induced a voltage correct that forces the current?

Explained is as minimal time as possible. Great vid! (It's a backup for power loss)

Sir great job thanks for explanation

Does anyone know the application program he is using to create this circuits? I really like how this program is set up and would like to use it to view other circuits !!

Very well explained! Thx

Is the continuation of this video already out?

Not a bad vid, but you spent more time talking about the next videos than you did about voltage which I don't think I heard you say once.

Excellent video, very well explained, thanks for that, could I ask in principle I comprehend the 10 vac per, ingoing. Rise to say 100 vac out going, ... But what of any amperages, in / out expected... Changes ?. Thanks again ... Thom in Scotland.

Very clear. Thanks a lot

Love this! Thanks

Hi. So the inductor increase the voltage and current in the circuit ?? this I want to know from low input to high output?? Thanks

wouldnt the inductor generate a back EMF with current flowing in opposite direction?

What stops the current flowing through the diode all the time? Or is that something to do with how the MOSFET works.

Just out of curiosity, why the current does not flow through the capacitor when the switch is on??

what software is used to simulate the boost converter?

For the above to happen the inductor must be made up of Soft Iron right?

Hey there, it makes sense why the current through inductor doesn't fall down to 0 instantly after opening the switch. But why does the current doesn't go to max instantly after turning the switch on?

,what happen if you let the switch is opened all period , don't toggle between on and off on other the hand why do you used the switch?

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!

How is the output voltage useful when the current is reduced

Hello, thank you for this video. I am trying to hammer these concepts into my mind, little by little. I know little about electronics. One question slightly off the subject: When the transistor is on, why doesn't the current split to: 1. the transistor and 2. the diode as well (just as in any old regular parallel circuit)? Thanks to anyone out there for your answer.

What program do you use for this simulation? Thanks.

The bemf current spikes passing though the diode then into the capacitor is like electric motor that could charge it self or another battery separate to the this circuit. Why dont electric car have this circuit to have longer run time?

which software is used simulate the circuit?? its very nice and those study electronics its useful

So what the important role of the transistor in this circuit ?

What is the purpose of the capacitor in this circuit?

An analogy always helps and the inductor is the flywheel of the electronics world, is it not?

what is key difference between capacitor and inductor as both store energy and then deliver

Can you discuss about op-amps?

Thanks but don't understand why there isn't current flow from the power supply but the inductor when the switch is off.

Will it effect a circuit if it doesn't turn on & off? What would happen?

what is tthe app that you are using?

hmm why is the current coming from the 10V when the transistor switch is off?

What is name of program used in video?

Do u plan to make a video on transformers?

Wow I now understand (thumbs up)

Love it, currently studing electronics and your videos are beautiful. perhaps you could approach with some more of the mathematics behind rlc circuits ,

Question, so whats difference between an inductor and capacitor? Im confused

What does the 500uH on the inductor mean?

Harikasın patron.

Just like a tattoo machine minus the diode. Thanks for the breakdown

Is it possible to connect single hyper voltage coil to the atmosphere and Grand in every circuit

looks like a DC to AC converter. thank you so much for considering my suggestion. also id like to ask of you can explain (like you always do in best way) some 78xx parts... like 7805 if im correct that turns all dc voltage to 5V (dc)

How inductor doesn't allow sudden change in current?

what software do you use

What is the software you are using?

I found one difficulty in drawing graphs of sinusoidal main field flux due to source , lenz's flux that opposes changes in main flux , and also thus effective flux in inductor and thus the emf graphs, when a pure inductor is connected to an AC sinusoidal voltage source. Can you please upload them.

Could you back it up with equations?

it will be help full if u teach the working of resistors

welldone

Could this not power itself then after initiated?

what this software?

Isn't the diode pointed the wrong way? I was always taught current flowed into the point of the diode.

Thx 😃

What will happen to the inductor if we continue flow the current to the inductor without turning it off

So, what is the difference between a capactior and inductor for functionality then? They both result in dissipating charge (in different ways). Why use one over the other?

Thank God for British concision.

how are choppers applied in motors

Do the follow up video

Will agree with you this is simply electronics rather than a thick text book with no clear explanations

Are u Dave hax

what the app for making animation in this video?

nice

Good

Tq

Just like a ram pump for water, except governed by an external timer.

So... What's an inductor? You explain so much I wanted to have one sentence Does it make current go fast?

So by passing electricity through a coil of wire making it have a magnetic charge it turns the magnetic charge into extra electricity when you stop the current?

a list of all components used

If anyone is interested in electronics the greatest results that ive had was with the Gregs Electro Blog (just google it) definately the no.1 course i've followed.

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?

Name of circuit simulation software please?

I know it's a stupid question. Why does the inductor collapse its magnetic field in the first place?
