What does an inconductor do and what is a H/Henry and what does inconductance do?

Inductor, inconductor does not exist. Perhaps are you a young who want learn here electronic basic concepts ? It's not impossible, but I advice you to read before the basics on some books or search articles in internet. Anyway, inductor phisically is made by turns of wires with or without iron or magnetic core. Geometrically often is like a cilinder. Play with EC and make a your circuit

DARN YOU ATO-CORRECT!!! I SPELLED INDUCTOR!!!!

An inductor is an electromagnetic device that resists sudden changes in current. It is most commonly used in antennas, transmitters, and filters.

Henry is the unit measure of inductor, depending upon physical and geometric construction, like capacitance for a capacitor. Equivalent resistance is directly depending by frequency (has opposite behavior than capacitor ). It works because transform continuously electrical energy in magnetic and viceversa.

Inductor is a passive component which resists the flow of alternating current, while passing direct current. It is the exact opposite of a capacitor which passes AC and blocks DC. It works by creating a magnetic field around the conductor, which does not collapse instantly when the AC changes polarity, thus restricting the passage of AC. It is used in AC to DC rectification, tank circuits and other apllications where AC needs to be blocked and DC passed or in conjunction with a capacitor, to create electronic oscillations.

Henry is the unit to measure the inductance. Henry is typically a very large unit, so is a Farad. Typically nH and uH are used, but there are applications for the whole unit too. A few Henrys can be the primary inductance of some transformers. The unit Henry is defined by the turns of the inductor, the width and diameter of the coil, and the core of which the bobbin is made from

if you shove current through it, it takes a while to build up current. it resists changes in current. think of it like a flywheel on a motor; the flywheel takes time to spin up to speed, or slow down to stop. or a kid on a swing; you can't get on the swing and swing a full 180 straight away, it takes some effort of pumping back and forth to get the momentum up

Yeah that's an important function of inductors. The current lags behind the voltage, whereas in capacitors the voltage lags, behind the current. This reciprocity is what makes them ideal, when used in conjunction, to act as a tank circuit, where current flows from one to another and then back again. The electrostatic field of a capacitor, discharges into an inductor, building an electromagnetic field in it. Upon full discharge, the magnetic field starts collapsing, returning the stored energy into the capacitor. This cycle continues until the losses in the system make the oscillations fade into nothing. That's why oscillator circuits are needed, to replenish the losses in the system with just the right amount, so that the fading, turns into rising.
