inductances

Magnetic field storage

Inductances is the plural of inductance, a property of electrical circuits that describes their tendency to oppose changes in current flow.

When current through a conductor changes, it creates a magnetic field that induces a voltage resisting that change.

Inductance is measured in henrys and is a fundamental concept in electronics, particularly in transformers, motors, and filters.

Engineers calculate inductances when designing circuits to control how energy is stored and released.
