A gigahenry is a unit of inductance equal to one billion henries, used to describe very large inductance values.

Why convert from gigahenry to microhenry?

Converting to microhenry expresses extremely large inductance values in much smaller, more manageable units suitable for practical analysis.

Is gigahenry commonly used in electronics?

Gigahenry values are mostly theoretical or used in large-scale models, as practical components usually have much smaller inductance.
