What does one centihenry represent in terms of henry?

One centihenry equals one hundredth (0.01) of a henry, measuring electrical inductance.

Why convert from centihenry to picohenry?

Converting to picohenry helps express inductances at a much finer scale useful in high-frequency and RF designs.

What are common applications for picohenry measurements?

Picohenry units are used for quantifying parasitic inductance on PCBs and designing RF integrated circuit inductors.
