What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to translate inductance measurements from millihenry, a derived SI unit, to abhenry, an older unit used within the cgs electromagnetic system. It facilitates bridging modern and historical unit systems in electrical engineering and physics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the inductance value measured in millihenry (mH)
-
Select millihenry as the source unit and abhenry as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent abhenry value
-
Use the result for engineering, research, or data conversion needs
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from millihenry to abhenry?
-
Converting helps relate modern SI inductance values to historical or theoretical data expressed in the cgs-emu system.
-
What is the conversion factor from millihenry to abhenry?
-
One millihenry equals one million abhenry.
-
Is the abhenry commonly used in modern engineering?
-
No, the abhenry is largely obsolete and mainly appears in legacy or specialized theoretical contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Millihenry (mH)
-
A derived SI unit of electrical inductance equal to one thousandth of a henry, commonly used in modern electrical components.
-
Abhenry (abH)
-
A historical inductance unit from the cgs-emu system representing inductance linking one abweber of flux per abampere of current.
-
Inductance
-
A measure of an electrical element's ability to oppose changes in current by generating voltage.
