Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one henry represent?
-
One henry [H] is the SI unit of inductance, representing the inductance in a circuit where a change in current of one ampere per second induces an electromotive force of one volt.
-
Why convert henry to microhenry?
-
Converting from henry to microhenry is useful for expressing very small inductance values, common in RF circuits and small inductors.
-
What is the conversion rate between henry and microhenry?
-
One henry equals 1,000,000 microhenry.
Key Terminology
-
Henry [H]
-
The SI unit of inductance; it relates the change in current to induced electromotive force in a circuit.
-
Microhenry [µH]
-
A unit of inductance equal to one millionth of a henry, used for small inductance values.
-
Inductance
-
A property of an electrical circuit that causes it to oppose a change in current, measured in henries.
