What does a gigahenry represent?

A gigahenry is an SI multiple of the henry equal to 10^9 henry and measures very large inductance values, often used in theoretical and astrophysical models.

Where are picohenry units commonly applied?

Picohenry units quantify small inductances such as parasitic inductance in PCB traces and small inductors in RF integrated circuits.

Why convert from gigahenry to picohenry?

Conversion helps translate large theoretical inductance values into smaller units useful in practical circuit design and analysis across different scales.
