What Is This Tool?
This online converter allows you to change inductance values from dekahenry, an SI-derived unit, to EMU of inductance, a unit from the historical cgs-EMU system. It is designed to assist users working with electrical inductance measurements across different unit systems used in engineering, research, and historical data analysis.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the inductance value in dekahenry you wish to convert
-
Select dekahenry as the input unit and EMU of inductance as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent inductance in EMU of inductance
-
Use the result to interpret or compare inductance values across unit systems
Key Features

Precision issues can occur when converting between units with vastly different scales
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a dekahenry?
-
A dekahenry (daH) is an SI-derived unit of electrical inductance equal to 10 henries, measuring magnetic flux linkage per unit current.
-
Why would I convert dekahenry to EMU of inductance?
-
You convert from dekahenry to EMU of inductance to translate modern SI inductance values into the historical cgs-EMU system, often when working with legacy data or theoretical calculations.
-
Are EMU of inductance units commonly used today?
-
No, EMU of inductance is a dated unit seldom used in modern engineering, but it remains relevant for historical and theoretical contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Dekahenry (daH)
-
An SI-derived unit of electrical inductance equal to 10 henries, representing magnetic flux linkage per ampere.
-
EMU of inductance
-
An electromagnetic unit of inductance from the cgs-EMU system, equivalent to 10⁻⁹ henry in SI units, historically known as the abhenry.
