How do inductors work?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
An inductor is a passive electronic component which is capable of storing electrical energy in the form of magnetic energy. It uses a conductor that is wound into a coil.  When electricity is passed through this coil, a magnetic field is generated.<|im_end|>

I didn't ask for an adapted recipe for Victorian Sponge. I wanted to know how inductors work.<|im_end|>

Yes, sorry for my previous answer. Inductors work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. An inductor is a coil of wire that stores energy in a magnetic field when current flows through it. When the current flowing through an inductor changes, the magnetic field around the coil also changes, inducing a voltage across the inductor. This voltage opposes the change in current and can be used to regulate the flow of current in an electrical circuit. The amount of energy stored in an inductor is proportional to the square of the current flowing through it.<|im_end|>
