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.
An inductor is an electrical device which resists changes in current by storing energy in a magnetic field. It can be characterised by the equation [math]V=L\frac{di}{dt}[/math] where L is the inductance of that inductor, which can be expressed in henries.
