Magic of Magnetism & Inductors (ElectroBOOM101-007)
Why people recommend it
ElectroBOOM's inductor explainer is pointed to for grasping inductance, kickback from inductive loads and how transformer coils couple energy between each other.
Watch for: transformer material starts near six minutes
In their words
However, the winding has inductance, preventing the current from immediately rising and melting the parts.
