MH's ideal coil and voltage question

[tinman]

I'm not referring to tinman's circuit, but the original one stipulated by MH.

You were answering my question posted on my circuit diagram Poynt.
How can you say that you were referring to MHs question?

No to 1 & 2.

Thank you verpies
As we know,you are correct.

A MH paradox added?

There is only one inductor--not a series of them.
My question was very clear.

Brad

Not a paradox, a model/tool for visualization purposes.

Every inductor can be thought of as being equivalent to a series string of inductors.

Would not measuring between several turns of your single inductor be equivalent to measuring between several series connected inductors?

What are you saying exactly?

That an ideal inductor is one that has a short across its terminals? Please clarify your point.

No
An ideal inductor that is looped(has a short placed across it by an ideal wire)is a shorted ideal inductor. If there is no wire across the ideal inductor terminals,then it is just an open circuit.

The connection is not just a series connection when there is only two components.
The connection is both series and parallel.

Seemingly yes, if you do not count the ideal wire that shorts the inductor.
Pay attention to this issue and the associated terminology because in my opinion this is the reason why you and MH cannot agree.

The fact that the ideal voltage source has no internal resistance,and is connected across the ideal inductor,means the inductor is now a loop connection with no resistance to current flow through that now looped inductor.

Yes, there is no resistance to current flow but there is impedance to current flow.  That is why the current does not become infinite immediately.
Impedance has two components.  Please consider both of them.
