Key Terminology
-
ESU of inductance
-
A historical inductance unit from the electrostatic cgs system quantifying electromotive force generation due to changing current.
-
Henry [H]
-
The SI unit of inductance representing the inductance in a circuit where 1 ampere per second change produces 1 volt electromotive force.
