Self-inductance is the property of an electrical circuit whereby a change in the current flowing through it induces an forza elettromotrice (Campo elettromagnetico) in the circuit itself. This ‘back EMF’ opposes the change in current, as dictated by Lenz’s law. The relationship is given by the formula [latex]mathcal{E}_L = -L frac{dI}{dt}[/latex], where L is the self-inductance, measured in Henries (H).
