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 ….
