A petahenry (PH) is an SI-derived unit of electrical inductance equal to 10^15 henry, used mainly for very large inductance values in theoretical or astrophysical contexts.

When would I use centihenry units?

Centihenry (cH) units are typically used for small inductors in electronics, such as filters, RF coils, and EMI suppression components.

Why convert from petahenry to centihenry?

Converting from petahenry to centihenry helps translate very large inductances into smaller, more precise units for practical electronic component specification or detailed electromagnetic analysis.
