An abhenry (abH) is the unit of inductance in the centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic system, historically used and now mostly replaced by the henry in the SI system.

Why convert abhenry to henry?

Converting abhenry to henry allows for consistent measurements in the modern SI system, facilitating practical engineering and scientific work.

Is abhenry commonly used today?

No, the abhenry is mostly obsolete and appears primarily in older texts or specific theoretical contexts.
