Just as well that you included a complementary 'smilie'. :-)

However, you did make me give pause for thought in regard of which
spelling I'd have used in the above sentence. I swiftly concluded that
Jim's choice was the correct one. However, in view of my advanced years,
I thought it wouldn't hurt to check...

As for the typo in the subject line, that's so common an occurrence that
it rarely bears comment, especially when any possible confusion is
immediately cleared up in the first line of the post.

Sometimes, a typo in the subject line can be unusual enough to warrant
comment, especially when it introduces an element of comedy. The only
slightly interesting aspect of this accidental double strike of the "S"
key is the wonder of how only the first "S" was capitalised. :-)

[1] The usual switch between 'their' and 'there' suggests a slapdash
attitude in the author's writing 'style'. The 'other way round' in this
case suggests a bit of 'over-thinking' on your part suggesting that you
were giving the task of writing this missive the thought it deserved ("If
a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well." sort of thing).

https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa...o/electron.htm

(an http: URL also works, but responds as https.

The old short-name version now doesn't work.

Damn! There's no link to a page on inductors, a component that I'm currently
trying to increase my understanding of.

Sadly, I can't now make changes to the st-andrews pages as I 'retired'
about ten years ago. I'm still 'retired staff', and can use the library,
etc. But I don't now even have a uni email address. The main irony here
being that I can't even remove my old (now dead) email address from the
pages because access for working on the pages was tied to my old email
account passwords, etc.

What is it you want to know about inductors?

Understood.

Probably nothing I can't find elsewhere - thanks.

When I wrote that I'd recently watched a youtube series [SMPS tutorial] by a
German guy who calls himself The Post Apocalyptic Inventor and in the fifth
part https://youtu.be/a21zh-obKWg he was demonstrating how inductors work
and said that in the next part he'd go into them in more depth and explain
their role in 'boost' DC - DC converters. He never made the 6th part.

I think that I understand enough anyway to suss it out but I quite liked the
way he explained some fairly complex maths in an approachable and easy to
understand way.
