What is Inductance?

Inductance is the property of an electrical circuit where a change in electric current induces an opposing electromotive force (EMF) through the magnetic field surrounding it.

Formula

\[ L = \frac{\Phi}{I} \]

  • \(L\) — inductance (in henries, \(H\))
  • \(\Phi\) — magnetic flux (in webers, \(Wb\))
  • \(I\) — current (in amperes, \(A\))
