Inductance
9.1 Inductance
An inductor stores energy in the magnetic field just as a capacitor stores energy in the electric field. We have shown earlier that a changing B-field will lead to an induced emf in a circuit. Question : If a circuit generates a changing magnetic field, does it lead to an induced emf in the same circuit? YES! Self-Inductance The inductance L of any current element is di = V = L The negative sign EL L dt comes from Lenz Law.
Unit of L: Henry(H) 1H=1 Vs · A All circuit elements (including resistors) have some inductance. • Commonly used inductors: solenoids, toroids • circuit symbol: • ExampleExample: SolenoidSolenoid

Recall Faraday’s Law, d d = N B = (N ) EL dt dt B
where B is magnetic flux, N B is flux linkage. Alternative definition of Inductance:
