OK. NOW it works for me, too. They're site must've been down when I tried before. Who knows?<p>Dean

Re: Basic Inductor Question
On the voltage/current discussion;
The Inductor technically stores a magnetic field,
which is able to move electrons (create a current) as its size changes with time.(As the
field enlarges, the 'lines of force' cross the
windings of the coil, and either absorb or yield
energy)But you really cannot have voltage without
current,except in static electricity. With the inductor, as the field collapses, it tries to move current but cannot (when the circuit is opened), so the voltage increases greatly, usually until it can arc. I.e.,spark plug.
What I find interesting is that a current is
INDUCED in a radio antenna, though no coil
or true polar field exists.

Can't we end all posts with a comical quip?
