What is the EMU of inductance?

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

What does the stathenry represent?

The stathenry (stH) is the cgs electrostatic unit of inductance, defined so that an inductor of 1 stH produces 1 statvolt electromotive force when current changes at 1 statampere per second.

Why convert EMU of inductance to stathenry?

Conversion helps compare and analyze inductance values across different cgs unit systems used in theoretical and historical electromagnetic frameworks.
