Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an abhenry unit?
-
The abhenry is a unit of inductance in the cgs-emu electromagnetic system, representing inductance linking one abweber of magnetic flux per one abampere of current.
-
What does stathenry measure?
-
Stathenry is the cgs-electrostatic unit of inductance defined so that 1 stathenry produces one statvolt electromotive force when current changes at one statampere per second.
-
Why convert from abhenry to stathenry?
-
Converting from abhenry to stathenry facilitates consistent interpretation and analysis when working across different cgs electromagnetic unit systems in theoretical and legacy contexts.
