A nanohenry (nH) is a unit of electrical inductance equal to 10⁻⁹ henry, often used to specify very small inductances in RF and high-frequency circuits.

When would I use kilohenry as a unit?

Kilohenry (kH) is used for very large inductance values, such as those in superconducting magnet coils or extensive electromagnetic systems.

What is the conversion factor from nanohenry to kilohenry?

1 nanohenry equals 1e-12 kilohenry.
