Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a millihenry used for?
-
Millihenry is used to measure small values of inductance, commonly found in power supplies, audio filters, and choke coils.
-
How do I convert millihenry to henry?
-
Multiply the millihenry value by 0.001 to get the equivalent inductance in henry.
-
Why is henry important in circuit design?
-
Henry quantifies inductance needed for designing coils and transformers, affecting voltage and current relationships in circuits.
Key Terminology
-
Millihenry (mH)
-
A derived SI unit of inductance equal to one thousandth of a henry, used to measure small inductance values.
-
Henry (H)
-
The SI unit of inductance that quantifies the ability of an electrical circuit to induce voltage from a change in current.
-
Inductance
-
A property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current induces an electromotive force in itself or in a nearby conductor.
