What is an EMU of inductance?

It is the unit of inductance in the cgs-EMU system, also called the abhenry, measuring magnetic flux linkage per unit current. It equals 10⁻⁹ henry in SI units.

What does decihenry represent?

Decihenry is an SI-derived inductance unit equal to one tenth of a henry, used to specify moderate inductance values in various electrical applications.

Why convert EMU of inductance to decihenry?

Converting from EMU to decihenry helps translate historical or CGS-based inductance data into SI units commonly used in modern engineering and physics.

Supports interpreting historical electromagnetic data into SI units
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions
Ideal for applications requiring unit translation between cgs-EMU and SI

Examples

5 EMU of inductance converts to 5 × 1e-8 dH = 5e-8 dH
1,000,000 EMU of inductance converts to 1,000,000 × 1e-8 dH = 0.01 dH

Common Use Cases

Converting historical cgs-EMU inductance values for modern engineering use
Characterizing very small inductors or single-turn coils in nanohenry ranges
Specifying inductance in power supply and filter circuit designs requiring decihenry units
Describing inductance in audio crossover networks and other moderate inductance filters
Documenting component values in datasheets and laboratory measurements

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values in EMU are accurate to prevent conversion errors
Understand that decihenry is suitable for moderate inductance values, not extremely small ones
Use this converter to translate legacy measurements into practical SI-based units
Double-check converted results when working with very small inductance figures

Limitations

Conversion involves very small EMU values, which may cause precision loss
Decihenry units apply best to medium-range inductance; very small converted values may be impractical
Care needed when converting to avoid misinterpretation of very small inductance results
