Comments by "Jovet" (@jovetj) on "Inductors Explained - The basics how inductors work working principle" video.
Capacitors and Inductors do the same thing.... they store energy. Capacitors use chemistry to make a small electric field to store up electrons. Inductors store energy in the form of a concentrated magnetic field. Both take time and electric current to "charge" but behave differently once they're charged. A capacitor acts like a resistor once it's charged, but an inductor acts more like a straight wire once it's charged. When power to them is removed, they then begin to discharge, assuming the energy they've stored has somewhere to go. Both discharge at different rates/profiles.
