How to use this converter
Enter a value in either the "From" or "To" field, select the units you want to convert between, and the converter will automatically calculate the result. You can swap the units using the swap button or reset the converter using the reset button.
About Inductance Units
Inductance is a property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current through it induces an electromotive force in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors. The SI unit of inductance is the henry (H), which is defined as the inductance that produces a voltage of one volt when the current through it changes at a rate of one ampere per second.
Common Inductance Units
- Henry (H): The SI unit of inductance, defined as the inductance that produces a voltage of one volt when the current through it changes at a rate of one ampere per second.
- Millihenry (mH): Equal to 0.001 henries, commonly used for larger inductors.
- Microhenry (μH): Equal to 0.000001 henries, commonly used in electronics.
- Nanohenry (nH): Equal to 0.000000001 henries, used for small inductances in high-frequency applications.
- Abhenry (abH): A CGS electromagnetic unit of inductance, equal to 10^-9 henries.
- Stathenry (statH): A CGS electrostatic unit of inductance, approximately equal to 8.988 × 10^11 henries.
Applications of Inductance Measurement
Inductance measurements are essential in various fields including:
- Electronics design and manufacturing
- Power supply design
- Radio frequency (RF) engineering
