Re: [TCML] Induction demonstration

[Jim <electrical@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am sure someone on this forum can answer this question. I learned 
about the delay while watching a youtube video on induction examples. It 
demonstrated a delay for a light bulb to become completely bright until 
after the coil was full and a delay for the light bulb to go out until 
after the coil was empty.
