This experiment uses the same circuit as in experiment #8. But instead of a capacitor, an inductor is used. An inductor passes stable current (DC) and blocks unstable current (AC). In the video, when I turn the switch on, the LED lights then goes out (blinks). Next, I disconnect and reconnect the wire to show that less inductance produces a dimmer (blinking) LED light. Lastly, I introduce a diode into the circuit to stabilize the current (AC to DC). Because the inductor, part of the transformer, is passing the stable current and blocking the unstable current, the LED only blinks when the button is on. When the diode is introduced to the circuit, the circuit loses the AC frequency rate and stabilizes into DC.
