Q

In terms of units, how is the inductance of a coil measured?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between inductance and magnetic fields in a coil • Standard SI units for electrical quantities (current, resistance, voltage, inductance) • Difference between units that measure current, voltage, resistance, and inductance

💭 Think About

• Which choice represents a special unit used specifically for inductance, not for current, voltage, or resistance? • Can you match each of these: amperes, ohms, volts, and the remaining unit to what they normally measure in basic electrical theory? • Think of Ohm’s Law (V = I × R). Which units appear in that equation, and which unit is left over for inductance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that amperes are used to measure electric current • Confirm that ohms are used to measure electrical resistance and volts for electric potential (voltage) • Identify which remaining unit is defined in physics as the SI unit of inductance
