What does 1 centihenry represent?

One centihenry (cH) is a unit of electrical inductance equal to one hundredth of a henry (0.01 H), representing small inductance used in electronics.

Why convert from centihenry to gigahenry?

Conversion helps express very small inductance values in terms of extremely large SI prefixes, useful when comparing scales from small electronics to astrophysical or large power system models.

Where is gigahenry used?

Gigahenry (GH), equal to one billion henry, is used in theoretical or large-scale inductance modeling such as planetary magnetic loops or vast superconducting circuits.
