What Is This Tool?
This converter tool translates values of inductance from the ESU of inductance unit, used historically in the electrostatic cgs-ESU system, into centihenry [cH], which is a current SI-based unit common in electronic designs and analysis.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the inductance value in ESU of inductance.
-
Select ESU of inductance as the input unit.
-
Choose centihenry [cH] as the output unit.
