Millihenry [mH]
-
A unit of electrical inductance equal to 10^-3 henry, used to measure small inductors in electronic circuits.
-
Centihenry [cH]
-
A unit of electrical inductance equal to 10^-2 henry, commonly applied in consumer electronics and RF circuit designs.
-
Inductance
-
The property of an electrical element that causes it to oppose changes in current by inducing voltage.
