inductance

Noun
  1. An electrical phenomenon whereby an electromotive force (EMF) is generated in a closed circuit by a change in the flow of current (synset 111488572)
    is a type of: electrical phenomenon - a physical phenomenon involving electricity
    subtypes:
    • mutual induction - generation of electromotive forces in each other by two adjacent circuits
    • self-induction - generation of an electromotive force (EMF) in a circuit by changing the current in that circuit; usually measured in henries
    same as: induction
  2. An electrical device (typically a conducting coil) that introduces inductance into a circuit (synset 103574194)
    is a type of: electrical device - a device that produces or is powered by electricity
    same as: inductor
