Inductance is usually denoted by L and is measured in SI units of henries (also written henrys, and abbreviated H), named after Joseph Henry, a contemporary of Michael Faraday. The EMF E produced in a coil with inductance L is, according to Faraday's law, given by E=−LΔIΔt.
Here ΔI/Δt characterizes the rate at which the current I through the inductor is changing with time t.
Based on the equation given in the introduction, what are the units of inductance L in terms of the units of E, t, and I (respectively volts V, seconds s, and amperes A)?
What EMF is produced if a waffle iron that draws 2.5 amperes and has an inductance of 560 millihenries is suddenly unplugged, so the current drops to essentially zero in 0.015 seconds?
