Inductance is the property of a coil of wire (or even a straight piece of wire) of storing energy in the form of a magnetic field generated by a current flowing through it. It is measured in Henrys. When the voltage driving it is reduced or withdrawn, this energy is released back into the current, giving it a kind of momentum and tending to keep it flowing.
