INDUCTANCE


Having introduced the necessary electromagnetic background, we can now address inductance. Inductance is, in some sense, a mirror image of capacitance. While capacitors store energy in an electric field, inductors store energy in a magnetic field. While capacitors prevent voltage from changing instantaneously, inductors, as we shall see, prevent current from changing instantaneously.
