- If your question is theoretical (you are dealing with ideal components), then the answer of Olin is just fine. If it is concrete, that's the answer of Andy.
- In the concrete case furthermore, I would add that what interest the engineer in general is not only the inductance, but the whole picture, which involve parasitic capacitances, resistances and inductances: you usually want to know how your load react at a given frequency, or in a certain range of frequencies.
I've written much more details about that in my answer to [this question](https://electrical.codidact.com/posts/281628/281653#answer-281653), so, I will not repeat myself.
