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.

Understood.

What is it you want to know about inductors?

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.
