ALL meanings of inductance
in·duct·ance
I i - noun inductance that property of a circuit by which a change in current induces, by electromagnetic induction, an electromotive force. Symbol: L. Compare inductive coupling, mutual inductance, self-inductance. 1
- noun inductance inductor (def 1). 1
- noun inductance The property of an electric conductor or circuit that causes an electromotive force to be generated by a change in the current flowing. 1
- noun inductance ability of varying current to induce a magnetic field 1
- noun inductance device producing inductance in a circuit 1
- noun inductance the property of an electric circuit as a result of which an electromotive force is created by a change of current in the same circuit (self-inductance) or in a neighbouring circuit (mutual inductance). It is usually measured in henries 0
- noun inductance the property of an electric circuit by which a varying current in it produces a varying magnetic field that induces voltages in the same circuit or in a nearby circuit: it is measured in henrys 0
- noun inductance the capacity of an electric circuit for producing a counter electromotive force when the current changes 0
- noun inductance Inductance is the property of a circuit or coil that causes an electromotive force to be set up due to a rate of change of current in the circuit or coil. 0
- noun inductance The symbol for inductance is L. 0
- noun inductance The property of an electric circuit by which a voltage is induced in it by a changing magnetic field. 0
- noun inductance The quantity of the resulting electromagnetic flux divided by the current that produces it, measured in henries (SI symbol: H.). 0
