I read in sci.electronics.design that John Devereux
wrote (in ) about 'Winding coils', on Sun,
7 Dec 2003:
I'm afraid you are using the word "inductance" in a
different way from everyone else


It would be better to say 'equivalent inductance', being the value L -
1/(w^2C). L = true (series equivalent) inductance, C = self-capacitance
(treated as lumped in parallel with L) and w = 2[pi]f = angular
frequency.

Resistance ignored, as irrelevant at this level.
