Fluorescent lights often use an inductor, called a ballast, to limit the current through the tubes. Why is it better to use an inductor rather than a resistor for this purpose?
Camera flashes charge a capacitor to high voltage by switching the current through an inductor on and off rapidly.

I = 0.26 A
E = 515 V
In how many seconds must the 0.26 A current through a 2.7 mH inductor be switched on or off to induce an average 515 V emf?
