What is the unit of inductance?

The unit of inductance is the Henry (H). Inductance is a property of an electrical component, typically a coil or inductor, that quantifies its ability to induce electromotive force (EMF) in response to a changing current. One Henry is defined as the amount of inductance that will cause a voltage of one volt to be induced when the current through the coil changes at a rate of one ampere per second. This relationship highlights the direct connection between inductance, current change, and the resulting voltage, which is fundamental in understanding how inductors function in electrical circuits.

In contrast, Ohm is the unit of resistance, which measures the opposition to the flow of electric current. The Volt is the unit of electric potential or electromotive force, and it indicates the amount of energy per unit charge available to move electric currents. The Farad is the unit of capacitance, representing the ability of a component to store electric charge. Each of these units serves a different purpose in electrical theory, but when it comes to inductance specifically, the Henry is the correct measurement.
