Emergence definition

Inductance is the property of an electrical circuit that opposes changes in current through self-induced magnetic fields, building upon the understanding of physics as the systematic study of the natural world through the laws governing matter, energy, and their interactions via forces, and the concept of current as the flow of charge through a conductor.
