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.
A voltage is induced across an inductor (back EMF), that is equal to the product of the inductor's inductance and the rate of change of current through the inductor. All circuits have, in practice, some inductance, which may have beneficial or detrimental effects.
