Question
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?

Answer:
Explanation:
E= −L ΔI / Δt.
L = E Δt / ΔI
Hence the unit of inductance may be V s A⁻¹
or volt s per ampere .
In the given case
change in current ΔI = – 2.5 A
change in time = .015 s
L = .56 H
E = − L ΔI / Δt.
= .56 x 2.5 / .015
= 93.33 V .
