What is an abhenry (abH)?

The abhenry is a unit of inductance in the centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic system, defined as the inductance linking one abweber of magnetic flux per one abampere of current. It is mainly used in historical and theoretical contexts.

What does terahenry (TH) represent?

A terahenry is an SI-derived unit of inductance equivalent to 10^12 henry. It is used to express very large inductance values commonly found in astrophysical and magnetohydrodynamic models.

Why convert from abhenry to terahenry?

Conversions help translate legacy inductance measurements from the cgs-emu system to the SI system, facilitating modern engineering applications and scientific communication involving very large inductance values.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms inductance values from abhenry (abH), a unit used in the centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic system, into terahenry (TH), an SI-derived unit that expresses very large inductance magnitudes.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the inductance value in abhenry (abH) you wish to convert.
Select abhenry as the original unit and terahenry as the target unit.
Click convert to receive the equivalent value expressed in terahenry (TH).

Key Features

Converts inductance values from abhenry (abH) to terahenry (TH).
Supports conversion between historical cgs-emu and modern SI units.
Facilitates analysis of legacy electromagnetic data and modern scientific applications.
Provides examples illustrating conversion calculations.
Browser-based and simple to use for quick unit translation.

Examples

5 abH converts to 5 × 1e-21 TH = 5e-21 TH.
1000 abH converts to 1e3 × 1e-21 TH = 1e-18 TH.

Common Use Cases

Translating inductance values from older documents using cgs-emu electromagnetic units into the SI system.
Conducting theoretical electrodynamics studies where cgs-emu units are applied.
Converting legacy instrument data for compatibility with modern engineering standards.
Expressing very large inductances in astrophysical and magnetohydrodynamic models.
Reporting results in scientific literature with clear SI prefixes.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to bridge historical and modern inductance units accurately.
Double-check extremely small output values as they may be insignificant for practical engineering.
Understand the context of these units, especially in theoretical and archival work.
Be aware that the abhenry is largely a historical unit rarely used in current measurements.

Limitations

The abhenry is much smaller than the terahenry, so converted values are extremely small and may be negligible in practice.
Conversion is mostly relevant for archival, theoretical, or highly specialized scientific contexts.
Potential precision loss or rounding errors can occur when converting very small abhenry quantities to large SI units like terahenry.
