What is a centihenry used for?

A centihenry is an SI unit of inductance commonly used for small inductors, filters, and RF coils in electronics.

Where is the stathenry typically applied?

The stathenry is mainly used in theoretical physics, plasma research, astrophysics, and legacy scientific literature employing cgs units.

Why are stathenry values so small when converted from centihenry?

Because the stathenry unit is from a different unit system with a very small conversion factor relative to centihenry, resulting in very small numerical values.

Examples

5 cH equals 5 × 1.11265002973e-14 stH, which equals 5.56325014865e-14 stH.
10 cH equals 10 × 1.11265002973e-14 stH, which equals 1.11265002973e-13 stH.

Common Use Cases

Converting inductance for small inductors and chokes in consumer-electronics filters.
Interpreting inductance values in theoretical electrodynamics or plasma physics research.
Analyzing inductance in tuned circuits and RF coils within different unit systems.
Studying electromagnetic relations in cgs-Gaussian units for academic purposes.
Comparing legacy measurement data that use cgs rather than SI units.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify unit systems before performing conversions to avoid errors.
Use this tool primarily for theoretical or academic analysis due to unit rarity in practical engineering.
Be mindful of the very small numerical results when converting to stathenry.
Double-check converted values when comparing legacy documents with modern SI units.

Limitations

The conversion factor results in very small stathenry values for typical centihenry inductances.
Differences in fundamental constants require careful handling during SI to cgs conversions.
Stathenry units are seldom used in practical electrical equipment, limiting this tool's practical applicability.
The tool is mainly useful for interpretation in theoretical, historical, or academic contexts.
