Inductance (or electric inductance) is a measure of the amount of magnetic flux produced for a given electric current. The term was coined by Oliver Heaviside in February 1886. The SI unit of inductance is the henry (symbol: H), in honour of Joseph Henry. The symbol L is used for inductance, possibly in honour of the physicist Heinrich Lenz.
Inductance - a term that describes the potential of a conductor to create voltage when an electrical current is flowing through it. The Si unit describing inductance is the Henry (H) and the symbol is L Abhenry (abH), Gigahenry (GH), Henry (H), Kilohenry (kH), Megahenry (MH), Microhenry (µH), Millihenry (mH), Nanohenry (nH), Weber per ampere (Wb/A)
The term was coined by Oliver Heaviside in February 1886. The Si unit describing inductance is the henry (H) and the symbol is L. One henry represents the induction of a circuit in which the rate of change of electric current by one ampere per second results in the output voltage of one volt.
