Key Terminology
-
Henry [H]
-
The SI unit of inductance representing the inductance of a circuit in which a change of one ampere per second induces an electromotive force of one volt.
-
Centihenry [cH]
-
A unit of electrical inductance equal to one hundredth of a henry, commonly used for specifying small inductance values.
-
Inductance
-
A property of an electrical conductor that causes it to oppose changes in current by inducing a voltage.
