Inductance is a property of an electrical circuit that quantifies the ability of a component, typically a coil of wire (known as an inductor), to store energy in a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. It is defined as the ratio of the induced electromotive force (EMF) in the coil to the rate of change of current flowing through it.
