Inductor, also called a coil, choke, or reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it. An inductor typically consists of an insulated wire wound into a coil.
In the below videos a simple demonstration has been performed how the inductors are used to control the current or potential across the loads (LED). The load value for different value of inductor is different it helps for the learners how to do basic test using inductors, if they are familiar then they can go for LC Oscillators, filters circuits whether to allow or block the signals.
In this video the potential across the inductor is shown with the measurement kit.
Inductors are going to be an active components in various types of circuits such as filters, oscillators, etc. They have a major advantage and also used in common electrical circuits in different segments.
