Why Coils Resist Change. The less often used of the passive components, the humble and mysterious inductor is the subject of this video.

This video explains how inductors work and how they store energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through them. Inductors are passive components used to resist sudden changes in ...

Inductive Reactance is defined as the opposition to current flow. It is the reaction of the inductor to the changing value of alternating current. To explain further, a back electromotive force (emf) ...

Chilling out: in principle, a thermal inductor could help convert boiling water to ice without using any external energy. (Courtesy: A Schilling and AC Mangham) A consequence of the second law of ...
