What is a nanohenry (nH)?

A nanohenry is an SI unit of inductance equal to 10⁻⁹ henry, used to measure very small inductances common in high-frequency and radio frequency engineering.

What does abhenry (abH) measure?

The abhenry is an inductance unit from the cgs electromagnetic system that measures how much magnetic flux links per unit current, mainly used in older scientific contexts.

Why convert from nanohenry to abhenry?

Conversion helps interpret and compare inductance values between modern SI units and legacy cgs-emu systems, especially when dealing with historical data or theoretical work.

Is the conversion rate between nanohenry and abhenry the same?

Yes, 1 nanohenry equals exactly 1 abhenry according to the defined conversion.

Can I use abhenry units in modern electronics design?

Abhenry units are rarely used in modern design and mostly appear in archival, theoretical, or legacy studies, so practical usage is limited.
