inductance
inductance
Definition
in·duct·ance (in duk′təns)
noun
- the property of an electric circuit by which a varying current in it produces a varying magnetic field that induces voltages in the same circuit or in a nearby circuit: it is measured in henrys: symbol, L
- the capacity of an electric circuit for producing a counter electromotive force when the current changes

inductance
Usage Examples
Preposition: of
- coil: In other words, altering the inductance of the coil.
Converse of object
- reduce: For example, halving the number of primary turns reduces the primary inductance to approximately one quarter of its previous value.
- have: Even straight wire has some inductance, and there is always at least some capacitance between two wires in proximity to each other.
- distribute: The circuit also contains a distributed inductance formed from the tracks making up the structure.
- increase: To increase inductance from minimum to maximum the dial must be rotated first from 100 to 200 then from 100 to 0.
- give: The disadvantages of the air gap are - More turns are required to obtain a given inductance.
- minimize: All the new bi-wire cables in the Original Range feature an enhanced geometry that minimizes cable inductance by precisely spacing opposing sets of conductors.
Adjective modifier
- stray: The comparatively low currents also make the inverter less sensitive to layout and stray inductance.
- mutual: The good news is that in many cases these voltages can be measured through mutual inductance.
- low: All Ecosse ' speaker ' cables exhibit low resistance ( which together with low inductance ) ensuring smooth, musically accurate performance.
- kinetic: Hence one can generally safely neglect kinetic inductance for normal electronics.
- primary: For example, halving the number of primary turns reduces the primary inductance to approximately one quarter of its previous value.
- effective: All that matters during the initial rising edge is the effective inductance of the disk, which is the same in each case.
Modifies a noun
- loop: Sensors known as ' inductance loops ' are placed at 100m intervals along the motorway.
- value: However, it tends to lead to fairly small tank capacitor and ballast inductance values.
Noun used with modifier
- ballast: The resonant charging properties depend on the chosen tank capacitor value and the leakage or ballast inductance of the supply.
- leakage: This being the value which will resonate at 50Hz with the 159 Henry leakage inductance of the transformer.
- series: The main advantage of this construction method is that it reduces the series inductance because the capacitor plates are not rolled into a spiral.
- source: The input return loss on 432 is slightly over 4 dB on 432 with the same source inductance.
- self: A very comprehensive collection: Mutual and self inductance for all geometries of air coil, the force between coils.
