So even a randomly wound coil (i.e. by hand, wildly and carefree) would wor=
k
and give the calculated inductance, only it would not be packed very well, =
right?

Inductors, stators, solenoids, electromagnets.. are all wound on the same d=
irection
(either all turns clockwise, or all turn anticlockwise), correct?

And what about transformers? If I unwind an existing secondary and rewind i=
t in
opposite clock direction, the phase will be inverted, but the rest will wor=
k just
like before?

Thanks!
