A conductor is that one which allows the flow of electric current through it. An inductor is also a conductor but in the form of a coil used in varying current circuits. An inductor's role is not to conduct electricity; it is used in alternating current circuits and control it without much power loss. it is based on self induction.
The difference between inductive reactance and capacitive reactance is that the former is a characteristic of inductors, and the latter a characteristic of capacitors. Also, the former is a function of the buildup and collapse of a magnetic field, while the latter is a function of the buildup of electric charge, and its discharge. Both phenomenon talk about the storage of energy taken from a circuit, and about giving it back -- and at different times during the operation of the circuit. Links are provided below to check facts and learn more.
Inductor stores the energy in the form magnetic flux, but the capacitor stores the energy in the form of electric charges.
In the inductor voltage leads the current, where as in the capacitor current leads the voltage.
an inductor is a single coil used for its inductive reactance
a transformer is one or more coils coupled by mutual inductance used for several purposes. some are.
- autotransformer or variac uses a single coil and provides stepup/stepdown without isolation
- isolation transformer uses two coils does not change voltage but provides isolation
- Transformers using many coils can provide a variety of different voltages usually with isolation
- some transformers provide electrostatic shielding between their coils
- current transformers use two coils to convert a current to a voltage to simplify measurement
- etc.
Because they work completely differently. It's like asking why you can't use a hammer in place of a wrench; there are a FEW places it might sort of work, but not usually and even if it did work it wouldn't work very well.
Both capacitors and inductors introduce impedance in AC circuits (in DC circuits, inductors are basically very low value resistors), but (and this is a bit technical, so don't worry about it too much if it doesn't make sense to you) they have opposite effects in phase space (that is: the imaginary part of their complex impedance has opposite sign).
inductor is stores the energy in magnetic feild,
Capacitor is also stores the enery but it is in electri feild
A capacitive circuit will more readily pass an AC current, while an inductive circuit will pass a DC current.

Why an inductor acts as a conductor?
Resistors and MOSFET/ transistors are two different animals, sory but
The resistance that an inductor poses to the flow of ac?
An inductor has two properties. The first is resistance(measured in ohms), which is due to the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the conductor from which it is wound. The second is inductance (measured in henrys), which is due to the length of the inductor, its cross-sectional area, the number of turns, and the permeability of its core.The inductor's resistance limits the value of current flowing through the inductor. The inductor's inductance opposes any change in current.
What is the difference between inductor and inductance?
Inductors can be used for a great many purposes. Terms, such as 'choke', 'reactor', etc., describe applications of inductors.
What is the difference between emitter and conductor?
A: BIG DIFFERENCE emitting is the study of electronics conduction is the study of current flow
Why is the potential difference between two points in a good conductor so small that it can be neglected?
Potential difference V = I R. Here I is the current passing through the conductor. R is the resistance of the conductor. In case of good conductor the resistance will be almost zero and so the product too becomes almost zero. Hence the potential difference is neglected.
How do you construct an inductor?
any conductor wound with few turns can be considered as an inductor
Define the 'potential difference between the ends of a conductor'?
Potential difference between the ends of a conductor refers to the electrical energy difference per unit charge between two points in the conductor. It is commonly known as voltage and is measured in volts. A potential difference is necessary for the flow of electric current in a conductor.

What is the difference between a plastic conductor and a metal conductor?
metal is like tine and plastice is not like tine
How are voltages imported into installations through the supply neutral conductor?
A 'voltage' is another name for a potential difference. As the name implies, a potential difference exists between two different points or, in the case of an electrical installation, between the line conductor and the neutral conductor. So the neutral does not 'import voltages'. Voltages exist between the line (hot) conductor and the neutral conductor.
