What are inductors?
How do inductors work?
Description
Day 25 of Linear Circuits. Inductors are one of the three passive circuit components (along with resistors and capacitors). However, their operation and behavior is often shrouded in mystery. We take a look at what inductors are and how they work at the component level. This will prepare us to solve circuits with inductors in our future lessons.
The material covers all of the lecture material from an twenty-fifth lecture in a traditional, sophomore-level linear circuits class.
