Inductance vs Conductance - What's the difference?

inductance | conductance |

As nouns the difference between inductance and conductance

is that inductance is the property of an electric circuit by which a voltage is induced in it by a changing magnetic field while conductance is a measure of the ability of a body to conduct electricity; the reciprocal of its resistance.
