Understanding Circuit Polarity Reversal

The video tutorial explains how capacitors and inductors can reverse the direction of current in a circuit. It begins with an overview of circuit components and current flow, then demonstrates how capacitors can temporarily reverse current direction through charging and discharging. An experiment with LEDs illustrates this concept. The tutorial then shifts to inductors, explaining their role in current reversal through magnetic field changes. A transformer is used in an experiment to show how inductors can achieve similar effects, highlighting the practical applications of these components in circuits.
