What does all that DO - How does a fluorescent light work, anyway?::
A fluorescent light is a gas discharge tube. It works a little like a strobe tube, and a little like an LED. Once its

i am an engineer and i want to know what an inductor does because they look really intresting
Gary's answer is excellent, but it more layman's terms, essentially, while a capacitor's purpose is to store voltage, an inductor's purpose is to store current.

What is the current carrying capacity of the RC Springprobe™ The concept is of an offset torsion spring coil that does not act like a coil inductor. In fact, as the coils

inductive reactance::
But what does negative power mean? It means that the inductor is What this means in a practical sense is that the reactance of an inductor dissipates a

At steady state (time = infinity), an inductor acts like a short circuit.
An inductor allows passage of DC current but resists AC. AC loads become current shifted with respect to voltage by up to 90 degrees in the negative direction. It also stores energy as magnetic energy in it's core when the current is disconnected the magnetic field begins to collapse and the energy is released as an electrical current in the same direction as the original flow. An inductors complement is a capacitor.
