Understanding Inductor Functionality by Alex Portillo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
An inductor is a coil of wire that can store energy in its magnetic field. When current starts or stops flowing through an inductor, it resists changes in current flow. This causes effects like a light bulb glowing brighter when a switch is turned on or off. Inductors are used in applications like traffic light sensors, where the presence of a metal object like a car changes the inductor
