In terms of units, how is the inductance of a coil measured?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) henrys. The inductance of a coil is measured in the unit of henrys (H), which is the standard unit for inductance in the International System of Units (SI). Inductance is a measure of the amount of magnetic flux produced by a coil when a current flows through it, and it represents the ability of the coil to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The other options are incorrect because amperes (A) measure current, volts (V) measure electric potential, and ohms (Ω) measure electrical resistance, none of which are directly related to the measurement of inductance.
