What is a dekahenry (daH)?

A dekahenry is an SI-derived inductance unit equal to 10 henry, commonly used for measuring large inductances in heavy electrical systems.

When should I use femtohenry (fH)?

Femtohenry is used to express extremely small inductances, such as parasitic inductance in microelectronics, high-frequency circuits, and chip-scale devices.

Why is the conversion factor so large between daH and fH?

Because 1 dekahenry equals 10 henry, and 1 femtohenry equals 10^-15 henry, converting between these units involves a factor of 10^16.
