L inductance , a magnetic caricteristic value formed any time a current
carrying wire is coiled. C capacitance, any time two or more conductors are
separated by an insulator a capacitor is formed. The value is in farads, but
this value is very large, so fractional values are used such as ufd which is
1/1000000 of a farad.
