A dekahenry (daH) is an SI-derived unit of inductance equal to 10 henry, measuring magnetic flux linkage per ampere.

Why convert dekahenry to gigahenry?

Converting dekahenry to gigahenry helps express inductance values on vastly different scales, useful in theoretical or large-scale electrical systems.

Are gigahenry values common in practical circuits?

No, gigahenry values are mostly theoretical and rarely found in everyday electrical circuits.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert inductance measurements from dekahenry (daH), an SI-derived unit equal to 10 henry, into gigahenry (GH), an SI multiple equivalent to 10^9 henry. It is designed to facilitate conversions between large-scale inductance units, especially useful in specialized fields such as industrial machinery and astrophysics.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the inductance value in dekahenry (daH) into the input field.
Select dekahenry as the unit to convert from and gigahenry as the unit to convert to.
Click convert to obtain the corresponding value in gigahenry (GH).

Key Features

Converts dekahenry values to gigahenry for inductance measurement.
Displays conversion results based on established SI unit relationships.
Supports applications in electrical power distribution, electromagnet design, and theoretical astrophysical modeling.

Examples

5 daH converts to 5 × 1e-8 GH, resulting in 5e-8 GH.
20 daH converts to 20 × 1e-8 GH, which equals 2e-7 GH.

Common Use Cases

Specifying inductance in large power-system chokes and smoothing inductors.
Modeling inductance in heavy industrial machinery and rail systems.
Conducting astrophysical or theoretical research involving extremely large inductance values.
Designing large-scale electromagnets or examining long transmission lines and superconducting loops.
