[self-in-duhk-tuh
ns] 
| inductance inducing an electromotive force in the same circuit in which the motivating change of current occurs, equal to the number of flux linkages per unit of current. |
| self-in·duc·tance (sělf'ĭn-dŭk'təns) n. 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. Also called coefficient of self-induction. |
