APPENDIX Inductance (L) Inductance is the property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current through it induces an electromotive force (EMF) in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors by mutual inductance. In the SI system, the measurement unit for inductance is the Henry (with the unit symbol H).
