What does a kilohenry measure?

A kilohenry measures electrical inductance and equals 1,000 henrys, representing an element's ability to oppose current changes and store magnetic energy.

When is petahenry used?

The petahenry is used for expressing extremely large inductance values mostly in theoretical or large-scale electromagnetic models, such as in astrophysics or specialized research.

Can this converter be used for typical electronics inductance?

Petahenry units are rarely practical for everyday electronics since those usually involve much smaller inductance ranges like microhenry to henry.
