Question
Why self-induction is called inertia of electricity?
✓

Answer

Self-induction is that property of a coil by virtue of which it tries to maintain the magnetic flux associated with it which means it opposes any change in the flux. This property is similar to property of inertia in mechanics. Hence it is called inertia of electricity.
