I need a good description for my studies i know they are transformers i know they change current to high voltages/low voltages .In your best words can you describe a inductor.As you can see im still trying to understand the principals of one
An inductor is wire bent into the shape of a coil. Any conductor with a current going through develops a magnetic field; the wire bent into a coil concentrates the magnetic field. Two coils near each other (is a transformer); and since each coil was made with a different amount of loops, then one is going to be effected by the magnetism more than the other.
An inductor (or reactor or coil) is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in a magnetic field. An inductor's ability to store magnetic energy is measured by its inductance, in units of henries.
