What is an EMU of inductance?

An EMU of inductance, also known as the abhenry, is a unit from the cgs-EMU system that measures magnetic flux linkage per unit current and equals 10⁻⁹ henry in the SI system.

Why convert EMU of inductance to petahenry?

Converting these units helps translate historical or theoretical electromagnetic data from the cgs-EMU system into an SI unit suitable for very large scale electromagnetic modeling.

Is petahenry commonly used in electronics?

No, petahenry is an extremely large unit rarely used in practical electronics and mostly appears in theoretical or astrophysical contexts.

Key Features

Converts inductance values from EMU of inductance to petahenry seamlessly.
Supports translating historical cgs-EMU inductance data into SI units.
Browser-based tool requiring no installation or setup.
Facilitates unit scaling for very small to extremely large inductance values.

Examples

5 EMU of inductance equals 5e-24 petahenry [PH].
1 EMU of inductance is equivalent to 1e-24 petahenry [PH].

Common Use Cases

Translating inductance data from older electromagnetic texts using the CGS-EMU system.
Scaling nanohenry-level inductances to the petahenry range for theoretical modeling.
Applying conversions in astrophysics or planetary science involving large-scale electromagnetic phenomena.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify that your starting inductance values are in EMU of inductance to ensure accurate conversion.
Use this conversion mainly for scientific or theoretical purposes rather than practical electronics.
Be aware that converted values in petahenry will be extremely small due to the large scale difference.

Limitations

Petahenry is a very large unit and seldom applicable in everyday electronics.
Converted results often produce very tiny numbers that may not have direct practical relevance.
This tool is best suited for bridging unit systems in research rather than engineering applications.
