Inductance

/ɪnˈdʌktəns/

Definition 1 of 1

Pro Tip 1/3

Inductance is mainly used in technical contexts such as electronics and physics, not in everyday conversation.

When discussing circuit design, we must consider the inductance of each component.

Pro Tip 2/3

Inductance can cause voltage when the current in a circuit changes; important when designing electronics.

The engineer measured the inductance to predict the voltage it would induce during operation.

Pro Tip 3/3

Inductance is often mentioned with coils or windings, as they strongly exhibit this property.

The inductance in a solenoid is higher with more turns of the coil.
