  • The deceptively simple wire coil that proves incredibly useful in the world of electronics - the inductor's ability to store energy in an electromagnetic field is the key to making transformers, electromagnets, and many more components. It truly is an awesome device!

    Here we are, nearly 6 YEARS after this was posted and it's still as good if not better than many of the other informational/instructional videos out there.

      I can make a loud horn with an electromagnet a capacitor and a diode and a tiny needle it works by the capacitor at the wires and a diode going to the electromagnet. The needle is taped or screwed in place when power is applied the electromagnet try's to pull the metal needle and the screw pushes it back down and it repeats it super fast on the sound plate and it makes an Anh Anh sound

    Thanks, although I've studied electronic technology, as a hobby, for some 30 years, I really appreciate the work devoted to explaining the basics in these videos. The older I get, I find that my memory sometimes has a tendency to color the facts and it's handy to have simple explanations, like these videos, to see through the fog of age. I wish these were around when I was younger. I'm glad younger students can cultivate their electronic interest through such a obtainable media.

  • @n2gpin
    @n2gpin 15 лет назад

    Good stuff, very well explained - with one exception...
    if the current flow is instantaneously interrupted and the field collapses, it causes current to flow in the reverse direction as when the inductor was charged....known as counter emf. I don't know if that detail was left out for ease of understanding, but I couldn't let it go - Thanks for posting these videos, they're very good at getting the concept of how these components work across in an easy to digest manner.

  • @ABCElevator1989
    @ABCElevator1989 12 лет назад

    this is a great video. as you can see on the scope how the square wave turned out after it passed through the inductor and how its shape was changed. this is due in part by when current is first applied to an inductor, it is at its maximum and slowly diminishes because of saturation. Capacitors are the exact opposite they are at minimum when current is first applied but then they gradually build up to the potential.

    a capacitor stores energy in its electric field. The field is created when opposite charges stored on a conductor are separated by an insulator like air. The charges then create a electric field which between them which "originates" from a positive charge and "ends" on a negative charge.

  • @TheBaconWizard
    @TheBaconWizard 11 лет назад

    A capacitor is reluctant to change voltage, and stores the charge as a potential differential between insulated plates. An inductor is reluctant to change current, and stores it as a magnetic field.

    I 100% agree with Milo who commented on how some persons can teach but cannot explain it in a way that one learns from it, you do teach and explain it very well. I just finished building an electromagnet using a D battery and a screw wrapped by an insulated wire. One huge problem: as soon as I connect the negative wire the wire gets very hot and starts to smoke and I burn my fingers. Question: Is there a way around the heating and burning aspect to this project??. Thanks. AL.

    @ABCElevator I was taught in 1987 that when turned on in the first pico-second the current in the Capacitor is maximum and the voltage is zero because it is an effective short while in the first pico-second the current is almost zero and maximum voltage in the Inductor because of maximum 'rate of change' of current generates maximum 'rate of change' the the flux which induces maximum voltage.

  • @Tikayy
    @Tikayy 14 лет назад

    @JagdtygerII the current doesnt get decreased in increasing voltage, the max current output stays the same at 200volt as it would have been at 1.5volt, so thinking he ment a battery, it wouldnt be "much".

    the electricity comes from the power plants at very hifgh voltage, and is then converted down to the voltage that is in our houses. The reason for it being high voltage is because the higher the voltage, the lower the power loss is.

  • @VeXorian1337
    @VeXorian1337 15 лет назад

    And inductor also behaves like a resistor... because of the resistance of the wire itself. There's always leakage and power loss, even though it's not too much. As said in the video, when you connect the coil to a DC power supply, it's reactance is 0, so the only remaining resistance is that of the wire, which is very small, thus a lot of current passes through it and heat is dissipated. P = Q/t
