Inductance
An electric current 
flowing around a circuit produces a magnetic field and hence a magnetic flux 
through the circuit. The ratio of the magnetic flux to the current is called the inductance, or more accurately self-inductance of the circuit. The term was coined by Oliver Heaviside in February 1886. It is customary to use the symbol 
for inductance, possibly in honour of the physicist Heinrich Lenz. The quantitative definition of the inductance is therefore
