inductance

n. (Electricity) capability of a circuit to generate an electromotive force; inductor, circuit or device in which an electromotive force can be generated

An electric current flowing around a circuit produces a magnetic field and hence a magnetic flux  through the circuit. The ratio of the magnetic flux to the current is called the inductance, or more accurately self-inductance of the circuit. The term was coined by Oliver Heaviside in February 1886. It is customary to use the symbol for inductance, possibly in honour of the physicist Heinrich Lenz. The quantitative definition of the inductance is therefore
