What is the microhenry unit used for?

Microhenry measures small inductance values typically found in RF tuning circuits, filter inductors, and timing components.

When should kilohenry units be applied?

Kilohenry units are used for describing very large inductances, such as those in superconducting magnet coils and specialized electromagnetic research.

How is the conversion between microhenry and kilohenry calculated?

The conversion uses the rate: 1 microhenry equals 1e-9 kilohenry, reflecting the nine orders of magnitude difference.
