What is EMU of inductance?

EMU of inductance is an old cgs-EMU unit called the abhenry, representing magnetic flux linkage per unit current and equal to 10⁻⁹ henry in SI units.

When would I need to convert EMU of inductance to ESU of inductance?

This conversion is useful when interpreting historical electromagnetic measurements or in educational settings comparing classical unit systems.

Is this conversion relevant for modern engineering?

No, these units are mostly obsolete and are used mainly for theoretical, historical, or archival scientific research rather than modern practical engineering.
