nductance is measured in Henries. One Henry is a large unit.

An inductor of 1 Henry would be a few cm in diameter and a few cm long and have many turns of wire on a ferrite core. An inductance of one Henry (or any value of inductance) does not tell you anythi ng about the size of the device, its current capability (the amount of current t hat can flow through the winding without the device overheating) or any of the o ther features we need to know about it. That's why you need to know the PRACTICA L side of selecting an inductor.
