Self and Mutual Inductance

How a changing current can induce an EMF in the same coil, or in a nearby one.

Self-Inductance

A changing current in a coil induces an EMF in that same coil, opposing the change — this property is called self-inductance.

Mutual Inductance

A changing current in one coil can induce an EMF in a nearby, separate coil — the basis of how a transformer works.
