Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one henry represent?
-
One henry is the SI unit of inductance, measuring the inductance of a circuit where a change in current of one ampere per second induces one volt electromotive force.
-
How many henrys are in one megahenry?
-
One megahenry equals one million henrys (1 MH = 10^6 H).
-
When should I convert henry to megahenry?
-
Convert henry to megahenry when dealing with extremely large inductance values such as those encountered in geophysical or astrophysical studies or large electrical system modeling.
Key Terminology
-
Henry [H]
-
The SI unit of inductance measuring the induced electromotive force when current changes at a rate of one ampere per second.
-
Megahenry [MH]
-
A unit of inductance equal to one million henrys, used to express very large inductance values.
-
Inductance
-
The property of an electrical conductor or circuit element that causes an induced voltage proportional to the rate of change of current.
