What Is This Tool?
This converter tool allows easy transformation of inductance values from femtohenry (fH), which quantifies extremely small inductances in microelectronics, to terahenry (TH), a unit used for very large inductances in astrophysical and theoretical models.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the inductance value in femtohenry [fH].
-
Select femtohenry as the source unit and terahenry as the target unit.
-

Examples
-
10 fH converts to 1e-26 TH by multiplying 10 by 1e-27.
-
500 fH converts to 5e-25 TH by multiplying 500 by 1e-27.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying tiny parasitic inductances in high-frequency circuit components.
-
Characterizing on-chip inductors and interconnect inductance in integrated circuits.
-
Expressing extremely large inductance values in astrophysical and magnetohydrodynamic research.
-
Converting inductance units for scientific literature requiring clear SI prefix notation.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion when bridging the gap between microelectronic and astrophysical inductance scales.
-
Be aware of the large scale difference and verify numerical precision when working with very small decimal values.
-
Consult examples to ensure correct interpretation of converted units.
Limitations
-
The 10^27 scale difference means terahenry has mainly theoretical or astrophysical relevance.
-
Femtohenry is better suited for practical microelectronic applications.
-
Converted values can be extremely small decimals, which may affect calculation accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the femtohenry unit used for?
-
Femtohenry is used to measure very small inductances such as parasitic inductance in PCB traces, component leads, and on-chip devices in microelectronic circuits.
-
Why convert femtohenry to terahenry?
-
Converting femtohenry to terahenry helps translate tiny inductance values into vastly larger scales for theoretical, astrophysical, or scientific literature contexts.
-
What challenges come with converting between these units?
-
The large scale difference can produce extremely small decimal values that may be difficult to handle accurately in calculations.
Key Terminology
