inductance

IPA: ɪndˈʌktʌns

(physics) The property of an electric circuit by which a voltage is induced in it by a changing magnetic field.
The quantity of the resulting electromagnetic flux divided by the current that produces it, measured in henries (SI symbol: H.)

Examples of "inductance" in Sentences

A controllable switch is coupled to the inductance.
Resistance heater vs the inductance load of an A/C motor.
The storage capacity for magnetic energy is called inductance of a coil.

Leakage inductance occurs when the magnetic flux does not fully couple to the secondary winding.
Yes, I can't remember why we didn't go up a bit in inductance; it was largely a trial and error business really.
Also, I continually feared that performance was being degraded because the previous magnet was not turning off fast enough due to inductance effects in the coil.
Althouse and pals use "Henry" to mean a unit of inductance in which an induced electromotive force of one volt is produced when the current is varied at the rate of one ampere per second.
The latter equation indicates that, in a current-carrying coil, an electromotive force is induced by the magnetic flux associated with the current in the coil; the magnitude of the electromotive force is proportional to the rate of current change DI/Dt. The proportionality factor is called inductance L (more precisely self-inductance).
