What is inductance?
Inductance is the property of a coil or conductor that opposes changes in current by storing energy in a magnetic field. The SI unit is the henry, named after the American physicist Joseph Henry: a coil has one henry of inductance if a current changing at one ampere per second induces one volt across it.
Inductors in power supplies are typically microhenries to millihenries, while radio-frequency coils are in nanohenries.
