Hi The problem with coils (inductors) is that they are indeed on the “other side” of the physics / electrical engineering divide. They are not unique in this way. Most components are dealt with to a “equivalent model” level and then abandoned in engineering.
You have two choices: 1) Read the physics stuff 2) Go back far enough that the divide had not occurred ( <= 1950’s). Sorry about that ….
