A gigahenry is an SI multiple of the henry equal to 10^9 henry, used to measure very large inductances in contexts like astrophysical models or long transmission lines.

What does attohenry measure?

Attohenry is an SI-derived unit equal to 10⁻¹⁸ henry, often used for extremely small inductances such as parasitic inductances in nanoscale electronic components.

Why convert from gigahenry to attohenry?

Converting between these units is useful for expressing very large inductance values in much smaller units, facilitating precise comparison with nanoscale inductance data.
