INDUCTANCE
Inductance
In electromagnetism and electronics, inductance is the property of a conductor by which a change in current in the conductor "induces" a voltage in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors . These effects are derived from two fundamental observations of physics: First, that a steady current creates a steady magnetic field, and second, that a time-varying magnetic field induces voltage in nearby conductors . According to Lenz's law, a changing electric current through a circuit that contains inductance, induces a proportional voltage, which opposes the change in current . The varying field in this circuit may also induce an e.m.f. in ...The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Inductance

inductance
Noun
- The property of an electric circuit by which a voltage is induced in it by a changing magnetic field.
- The power cable itself has enough inductance to disrupt the digital signal of the video output cable, due to poor shielding.
- The quantity of the resulting electromagnetic flux divided by the current that produces it, measured in henries (SI symbol: H.)
- What is the inductance of that power supply's main inductor?
