[time-nuts] magnetic electronic components

Hi

The problem with coils (inductors) is that they are indeed on the “other side” 
of the physics / electrical engineering divide. They are not unique in this way. 
Most components are dealt with to a “equivalent model” level and then abandoned
in engineering. 

You have two choices:

1) Read the physics stuff
2) Go back far enough that the divide had not occurred ( <= 1950’s).

Sorry about that ….
