The inductance primarily serves to limit current flow to the correct level for the tube. It also can be used during startup to provide an inductive 'kick' forming a higher-voltage pulse to start the lamp.
If you refer to a flurecent tube you need to check the starter if it has one (small round tube in the side of the light), check the fuse box for that light, check the switch for that light and check that the tube youve banged about has not also blown i.e. check in another tube socket if possible
There is a coil which converts ac/ to d/c in some models. Sometimes the insulation fails and the wires gets shorted. The wires are covered with a very thin layer of shellac to reduce the size of the ballast and increase inductance.
