7. Inductance
   The inductance is the property of an electric circuit to store magnetic energy when carrying a current. The SI unit of inductance is the henry. An electromotive force of 1 volt is induced in a circuit with an inductance of 1 henry when the current variation is 1 ampere per second. See also: Distributed Inductance, henry, Wheatstone Bridge.
