This study guide covers inductors and their behavior in circuits. Key topics include: inductance (L) and its dependence on coil geometry, energy storage in inductors, LR circuit behavior (including the time constant), LC circuit oscillations (and their connection to simple harmonic motion), and relevant circuit analysis techniques. It also includes practice problems and exam tips.
