Inductors Explained - The basics how inductors work working principle

That water wheel analogy is the best analogy I ever heard of. Great work.

Qualified electronic and electrical engineer here with 25 years experience. All I can say is I wish you were my college lecturer 25 years ago. These videos are brilliantly explained. Well done

I am a pediatrician. Just stumbled across this while trying to wire a relay. I wish I had a teacher like you 25 years back. I would have become an engineer. Excellent video!

Electrical Engineering concept: exists. Professors/Teacher: „I want you to think about water first“

Perfect video your next one should be about how capacitance reactance and inductance work together

The best explanation imaginable. These things must take some time to put together. A big thanks!

Bro, you are making me study my schooling again after 15 years.

Paul. I have to say, you do the BEST job in explaining electrical/electronic components etc.! By FAR, the most thorough regarding function, construction and application explanations. This "Yank" loves your work! Keep it going my friend! Patrick

Great explanations! You might add that inductance can be tricky to measure because inductors tend to be one of the more "imperfect" components we typically deal with in electronics. Inductors often include a lot of resistance.

Your water wheel analogy of an inductor is brilliant! Further, I admire and respect your ability to explain things in simple terms without dumbing it down. Graphics are fantastic, by the way.

Thank you for these videos. I envy the kids of this decade who can learn straight from you instead of staring at the textbook and trying to understand what the hell this means and what did the tired uninterested teacher even say. Anyway, even many years later it's so refreshing to finally grasp the basics and open the door to a better understanding of the world we live in. Getting closer to watching Feynman's lectures and not feeling like an idiot :) not to mention lots of fun with DIY projects (IoT, robotics, etc.).

After 50 years of struggling to get this... you have turned on my switch! Very well laid out and I get it now. I'm studying for my ham radio liscence, you should get with the ARRL and become a part of their schooling of students. So much of ham radio is getting a" soft" electrical engineering degree. I'm grateful to your work.

Where were you and your videos when I was completing my engineering! 😣 Inductance and Capacitance was something I never fully grasped during my academics! Here now I can literally visualise how things work there.. Thanks a lot for sharing such amazing knowledge 😀😊

when i watched the first minute, i'm too excited to learn. Your channel completed my life already

I love how these videos are easy to understand with their analogous explanations. That is true genius. Well done!

This is an absolutely fantastic video, love the demonstrations and simple explanations. Great work!

I recently re-ignited my passion for computer engineering (and electricity altogether). Your recent videos couldn't have come at a more convenient time. For some reason I've been struggling with AC principles and semiconductors but I guess its because I'm a tactile learner and I like a nice quiet environment when I'm learning. Time to binge watch some more videos!

Great explanation about what it does in isolation, but an integration example would be very helpful. How is it used in a DC transformer? etc. I think this is the only thing that is missing from your great videos about electronics. Thanks!

You made a great analogy, but you didn't explain why I would want an inductor in a circuit.
