Key Terminology
-
Decihenry (dH)
-
An SI-derived unit of inductance equal to one tenth of a henry, typically used for medium-range inductors and filter circuits.
-
Kilohenry (kH)
-
A unit of inductance equal to 1,000 henrys, used to describe very large inductances such as those in superconducting magnets.
-
Inductance
-
A property of an electrical element that quantifies its ability to link magnetic flux with electric current and oppose changes in current.
