Re: Denco (science)
Other issues with inductors are that the core material (unless air) tends to be a lot less linear than the dielectric of a capacitor. The inductance of a coil depends on the current passing through it a lot of the time, the capacitance of a good capacitor does not normally depend much on the applied voltage. And inductors are much harder to screen from each other than capacitors are to screen.
For those reasons an inductance bridge will normally be designed to balance the inductor + resistor against a resistor + capacitor rather than trying to use a 'standard' inductor.
