Conductance vs. Inductance

Conductancenoun

(physics) A measure of the ability of a body to conduct electricity; the reciprocal of its resistance.

Conductancenoun

Conducting power; - the reciprocal of resistance. A suggested unit is the mho, the reciprocal of the ohm.

Conductancenoun

a material's capacity to conduct electricity; measured as the reciprocal of electrical resistance

Inductancenoun

(physics) The property of an electric circuit by which a voltage is induced in it by a changing magnetic field.

Inductancenoun

The quantity of the resulting electromagnetic flux divided by the current that produces it, measured in henries (SI symbol: H.)

Inductancenoun

Capacity for induction; the coefficient of self-induction.

Inductancenoun

(physics) a property of an electric circuit by which an electromotive force is induced in it by a variation of current

Inductancenoun

an electrical device that introduces inductance into a circuit

Inductance

Inductance is the tendency of an electrical conductor to oppose a change in the electric current flowing through it. The flow of electric current creates a magnetic field around the conductor.
