A inductance variable device includes a first inductor, a second inductor magnetically coupled to the first inductor, a current source whose current is variable, electrically connected to the first inductor, and a current control unit. The current control unit controls a current flowing from the current source to the first inductor according to a feedback signal having frequency information in a current flowing in the second inductor to vary a combined inductance of the second inductor.
