Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 henry represent?
-
One henry (H) is the SI unit of inductance, representing an inductance where a one-ampere-per-second change in current induces an electromotive force of one volt.
-
Why convert henry to terahenry?
-
Converting to terahenry simplifies the representation of extremely large inductance values, which is helpful in scientific and astrophysical models.
-
Is terahenry used in typical circuit designs?
-
No, terahenry is mainly used in advanced scientific contexts, as its scale is impractical for everyday engineering applications.
Key Terminology
-
Henry (H)
-
The SI unit of inductance, representing the property of a circuit in which a change in current induces an electromotive force.
-
Terahenry (TH)
-
An SI-derived unit of inductance equal to 10¹² henry, used to express very large inductance values.
-
Inductance
-
A property of an electrical circuit that causes a voltage to be induced by a changing current.
