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.
Texas Instruments has devised a way to measure inductance that simplifies this picture. It has released what it calls an inductance to digital converter. TI uses the acronym LDC, with “L” for loop instead of “I” for inductor. Presumably, this is so you don't think the company is selling insulation displacement connectors.
