Coefficient Of Self Induction (Noun)
Meaning
The ratio of the electromotive force produced in a circuit by self-induction to the rate of change of current producing it, expressed in henries.
Classification
Nouns denoting quantities and units of measure.
Examples
- The coefficient of self-induction is a measure of the opposition to changes in current in an electrical circuit.
- In the context of electrical engineering, the coefficient of self-induction is an essential parameter in designing and analyzing circuits.
- The coefficient of self-induction is typically denoted by the symbol L and is measured in henries.
- A coil with a high coefficient of self-induction will resist changes in current more strongly than one with a low coefficient.
- The coefficient of self-induction is a critical factor in determining the behavior of circuits that contain inductive components.
