inductance unit | (n) a measure of the property of an electric circuit by which an electromotive force is induced in it |
coefficient of mutual induction | (n) a measure of the induction between two circuits; the ratio of the electromotive force in a circuit to the corresponding change of current in a neighboring circuit; usually measured in henries, Syn. mutual inductance |
coefficient of self induction | (n) the ratio of the electromotive force produced in a circuit by self-induction to the rate of change of current producing it, expressed in henries, Syn. self-inductance |
induction | (n) an electrical phenomenon whereby an electromotive force (EMF) is generated in a closed circuit by a change in the flow of current, Syn. inductance |
inductor | (n) an electrical device (typically a conducting coil) that introduces inductance into a circuit, Syn. inductance |
