Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an attohenry?
-
An attohenry (aH) is an SI-derived unit of inductance representing 10⁻¹⁸ henry; it quantifies very small magnetic flux linkage per unit current, common in nanoscale and high-frequency circuit components.
-
How does weber per ampere relate to henry?
-
Weber per ampere (Wb/A) is the SI unit of inductance identical to the henry; it expresses magnetic flux linkage per unit of electric current.
-
Why convert attohenry to weber per ampere?
-
Converting from attohenry to weber per ampere helps express extremely small inductance values using the standard inductance unit compatible with analysis tools and component specifications.
