inductance
1. an electrical phenomenon whereby an electromotive force (EMF) is generated in a closed circuit by a change in the flow of current • Syn: induction • Derivationally related forms: induce (for: induction), induct (for: induction) • Hypernyms: electrical phenomenon • Hyponyms: mutual induction, self-induction 2. an electrical device (typically a conducting coil) that introduces inductance into a circuit • Syn: inductor • Hypernyms: electrical device
