Inductance. In electromagnetism and electronics, inductance is the property of a conductor by which a change in current in the conductor induces a voltage in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors.
In electronics, the state of a circuit element is described by two real numbers (the voltage V across it and the current I flowing through it). A circuit element also may possess a capacitance C and an inductance L that (in simplistic terms) describe its tendency to resist changes in voltage and current respectively.
