+Description
+-----------
+Inductor is a passive electronic device which stores energy but unlike capacitor, it
+stores energy in its 'magnetic field' or 'magnetostatic field'.
+
+When inductor is connected to 'DC' current source nothing happens it just works like a
+wire because it's real effect cannot be seen while 'DC' is connected, its not even
+going to store energy. Inductor stores energy only when it is working on 'AC' current.
+
+Connecting a inductor in series with a resistor(when R = 0) to a 'AC' potential source,
+from zero to a finite value causes a sudden voltage to induced in inductor which
+opposes the current. which results in initially slowly current rise. However it would
+cease if there is no further changes in current. With resistance zero current will never
+stop rising.
+
+'Resistance(ohms) / Inductance(henrys)' is known as RL-timeconstant. It also represents
+as τ (tau). While the charging of a inductor with a resistor results in
+a exponential function.
+
+when inductor is connected across 'AC' potential source. It starts to store the energy
+in its 'magnetic field'.with the help 'RL-time-constant' we can find current at any time
+in inductor while it is charging.
