inductance

Stray inductance can also play a part, but it's far less likely.

In a good transformer it's a very small leakage inductance, but it is there.

So we put an RC network across the transformer output, which neutralizes the leakage inductance.

It is impossible to make a capacitor without some inductance and a little bit of leakage.

Crosstalk between layers, capacitance and inductance of the wires themselves can wreak havoc on your busses.

It might be to normalise other components to nice units, given that pi turns up when calculating the inductance of a coil.

Each additional turn adds capacitance, and the narrow diameters used make for a small inductance.

One of the coolest things about superconductors is "kinetic inductance"[1].

But that's just an arbitrary unit created by humans, you could fix that by defining the unit of inductance as the inverse of what we use now.

The capacitances are far too high and inductances too low in these arrangements, and thus they need extremely inefficient drivers.

Those leaded capacitors have no effect above 1MHz because their performance is dominated by the inductance of their package.

Would the induction loop also be usable to interface with implanted inductance-powered sensors located in the wrist?

The stray capacitance and inductance can cause large problems and even outright oscillation of even relatively low frequency circuits.

An ideal inductor maintains the relationship V = L x dI/dt, where V is the voltage across the 2 terminals of the inductor, I is the current through the inductor, and L is the inductance.

I remember from my electrical engineering classes that the transmission line propagation is strongly affected by the balance between capacitance and inductance.

Designers vary the size, spacing, number, and geometry of loops depending on the inductance, parasitic resistance/capacitance, material properties, etc.
