Key Terminology
-
Henry (H)
-
The SI unit of inductance representing the inductance of a circuit where a current change of one ampere per second induces one volt electromotive force.
-
Weber per ampere (Wb/A)
-
The SI derived unit of inductance measuring magnetic flux linkage produced per unit current, identical to henry.
-
Inductance
-
A property of an electrical circuit that quantifies the ability to generate electromotive force due to a change in current.
