inductance

• Propriété d'un circuit électrique où une variation du courant produit une force électromotrice, ou composant (par exemple une bobine) qui présente cette propriété.

A noun referring to the property of an electrical circuit by which a change in current induces an electromotive force, or a device such as a coil that exhibits this property.
