Inductors in Power Electronics (Direct Current Control)

Video Description

An introduction to switching current regulation making use of inductors. We test out the theory of stored energy in inductors, and utilise one to smooth current from a switching MOSFET. We then look into the need for a flyback diode in such a circuit, and finally consider the basic options for control schemes.
