inductance
Current-change voltage response
Inductance is the property of an electrical conductor that causes it to oppose changes in current flow.
When current through a conductor changes, it creates a changing magnetic field, which in turn induces a voltage that resists the change—a phenomenon called self-inductance.
Mutual inductance occurs when a changing current in one conductor induces voltage in a nearby conductor.
Measured in henrys, inductance is fundamental to transformers, motors, and electronic filters.
The coil's high inductance smoothed out the power supply ripple.
