Key Terminology
-
Kilohenry [kH]
-
A unit of electrical inductance equal to 1,000 henrys, used to describe very large inductances.
-
Millihenry [mH]
-
A unit of electrical inductance equal to one-thousandth of a henry, commonly used for smaller inductance values.
-
Inductance
-
The property of an electrical element that quantifies its tendency to oppose changes in current and store magnetic energy.
