- noun The generation by a changing current of an electromotive force in the same circuit.
from The Century Dictionary.

In Louie's case, hysteresis -- the self-induction that makes it impossible to turn off current in a conductor instantaneously -- is a bit longer, in terms of his mental process, than the chemical delay was in his old body.

The proportionality factor in mutual induction is called mutual inductance M, that in self-induction is called inductance L.

This process of production of electromotive force in the turns of the coil generating the field is called self-induction.

-
When this takes place in another, galvanically separated coil, this is called mutual induction; when it takes place in the same coil, it is called self-induction.

-
The maximum current limited by R cannot flow immediately because self-induction counteracts any current change.
5. Magnetic Field 1991
-
At the instant of switching off (time t2), the current passing through the coil is not immediately interrupted because self-induction opposes any current change.
