What is a millihenry used to measure?

A millihenry measures electrical inductance, indicating how much voltage opposes changes in current in inductors and magnetic components.

Why convert millihenry to ESU of inductance?

Converting helps interpret historical cgs-ESU measurements in terms of modern SI units, useful in research and education.

Is the ESU of inductance commonly used today?

No, it is mainly used in historical, academic, or archival contexts rather than in current practical applications.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts inductance measurements from millihenry (mH), which is a derived SI unit commonly used in electronic design, to the electrostatic unit (ESU) of inductance, a unit from the cgs-ESU system that appears in historical electromagnetic contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the inductance value in millihenry (mH) into the input field
Choose ESU of inductance as the target unit for conversion
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in ESU units
Review the converted result for use in analysis or comparison

Key Features

Converts inductance values from millihenry to ESU of inductance easily
Based on a precise conversion factor between these two units
Supports understanding of legacy electromagnetic units and modern SI units
Useful for physics education, archival research, and metrology comparisons

Examples

5 millihenry converts to approximately 5.56325014865 × 10⁻¹⁵ ESU of inductance
10 millihenry converts to approximately 1.11265002973 × 10⁻¹⁴ ESU of inductance

Common Use Cases

Interpreting historic inductance values expressed in the cgs-ESU unit system
Converting archival inductance data to modern SI units for contemporary analysis
Teaching and comparing classical electromagnetic units in advanced physics courses
Researching electromagnetic theory with references to legacy measurement systems

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the units before starting a conversion to avoid errors
Use this conversion primarily for academic, archival, or educational purposes
Pay attention to the very small numerical values when working with ESU units
Cross-check converted values if precision is critical due to the historical nature of ESU units

Limitations

ESU of inductance is a rarely used historical unit limited to academic or archival contexts
Values in ESU units are extremely small compared to SI units, which may cause rounding challenges
ESU inductance units lack modern direct measurement tools and rely on theoretical conversion
Practical uses today are mostly restricted to specialized research and classical electromagnetic education
