Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an abhenry?
-
The abhenry (abH) is a historical unit of inductance from the cgs-emu system representing the inductance linking one abweber of magnetic flux per one abampere of current.
-
Why convert abhenry to millihenry?
-
Converting abhenry to millihenry allows older inductance data in cgs-emu units to be used in modern engineering which primarily uses SI-derived units.
-
How do I perform the conversion?
-
Multiply the value in abhenry by 0.000001 to get the equivalent inductance in millihenry.
Key Terminology
-
Abhenry (abH)
-
A historical inductance unit in the cgs-emu system representing the inductance linking one abweber per abampere.
-
Millihenry (mH)
-
A derived SI unit of inductance equal to one-thousandth of a henry, commonly used in electronic component design.
-
Inductance
-
A property of an electrical component that opposes changes in current, measured in henry or related units.
