Inductive Kickback

[citfta]

The current passes into the inductor; The inductor stores the current in a magnetic field; The current is cut off; The magnetic field collapses and a new current and voltage are generated; The new current and voltage share the same polarity! Stop trying to falsely maintain that the new voltage reverses polarity while the new current does something else!

Go back and look at Woopyjump's scope shots!

Synchro, instead of just repeating what you believe please take the time to think about what we are saying.  You have never answered the question about which way the current flows inside the battery.  Jeg now understands what is going on because he took the time to consider that idea.

@Citfta,

What's the voltage of the power source? What's the inductance of the coil?

It doesn't really matter.  The results will be the same.  A voltage of 12 volts or so is usually convenient.  And the higher the inductance the easier it will be to see the scope traces and follow what is happening.

@Citfta,

I don't know anything about batteries.

@Citfta,

I can adjust the values to produce a spark across the Reed contacts.

OK.

If the conventional idea of current flow is for current to flow from the positive pole to the negative pole through the circuit then which way would the current have to flow inside the battery to complete the path of current flow?
