Definition
Noun: - A unit for measuring inductance: An "inductance unit" is a standard quantity used to measure the property of an electric circuit (inductance) by which an electromotive force (voltage) is induced in it when the electric current changes.
Usage
- This term is used in the context of physics and electrical engineering to specify the magnitude of inductance in a circuit component, such as a coil or inductor.
- It is a countable noun. You can have one inductance unit or several inductance units.
Examples
- The inductor's value was measured in standard inductance units.
- One common inductance unit is the henry.
- We need to calculate the total inductance in the same inductance unit.
Advanced Usage
- "Derived inductance unit": Refers to units that are multiples or fractions of the base unit, like the millihenry (mH) or microhenry (µH).
Variants and Related Words
- Henry (H): The SI base unit of inductance. One henry is the inductance of a closed circuit in which an electromotive force of one volt is produced when the electric current in the circuit varies uniformly at a rate of one ampere per second.
- Inductance (n): The property itself that the unit measures.
- Inductor (n): A passive electrical component designed to provide inductance in a circuit.
Synonyms
- Unit of inductance
Notes
- The term "inductance unit" itself is not a phrasal verb or idiom. It is a technical compound noun. The related phrasal verbs or idioms are associated with the root word "induct" (e.g., ), which pertains to a completely different meaning of formally admitting someone into a group or position.
Noun
- a measure of the property of an electric circuit by which an electromotive force is induced in it
