I'm a Beginner in Analog Electronics- Got ?'s about INDUCTOR

[Irish LaidE]

I am an EIT for broadcast AM radio. I've been working alot with HUGE
coils (bigger than my head). I'm just learning how coild work and
about inductive reactance.

Can someone please tell where I can find information, ie. internet or
text book, about how magnetism works in inductors, on a BEGGINERS
level.
I've read alot about inductors and magnetism already. I know that
current lags voltage and such. But what's all this about saturation
and magnetism???

Thanks- Kim

Here is a link to a tutorial on inductance:
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electromag/electricity/inductance.html

Come back with any questions you have after looking at that.

Thank you very much! This site has great visuals! I feel better about
moving on from inductive reactance and starting on capacitive
reactance.
