About Inductance

Inductance (L) is the property of an electrical conductor that opposes changes in electric current. It is measured in henrys (H) and is a fundamental property of inductors.

The henry is the SI unit of inductance. One henry is the inductance of a circuit in which an electromotive force of one volt is induced when the current changes at one ampere per second.

Common Applications:

  • Inductor design and selection
  • Circuit analysis and design
  • Filter design and implementation
  • Power electronics and switching
  • RF and microwave circuits
