Hi there,
Dont feel too bad as many people have a harder time with inductors than with capacitors for some reason. It just takes a little time and patience to understand them a little better. You'll do just fine if you are willing to invest a little time studying these amazing devices.
The simplest place to start is usually an inductor in series with a resistor, in series with a voltage source like a battery. You can then look at how the inductor charges up and discharges when the circuit is changed a little. If that sounds too involved then you can start with a voltage source like a battery and just the inductor, then look at how the inductor charges up.
You might also think about it a little and ask some more specific questions about the inductor, like the the units used for inductance.
To start with, the unit for capacitance is the Farad, and the unit for inductance is the Henry.
