Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does attohenry (aH) measure?
-
Attohenry is an SI-derived unit of inductance representing extremely small magnetic flux linkage per unit current, typically used in nanoscale and microelectronic contexts.
-
When should I use dekahenry (daH)?
-
Dekahenry is suited for measuring large inductances found in power system components, large electromagnets, and heavy industrial machinery.
-
Why is converting aH to daH result in very small numbers?
-
Because attohenry and dekahenry differ by many orders of magnitude, converting from a very small unit (aH) to a much larger unit (daH) produces extremely small decimal values.
