Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a petahenry (PH)?
-
A petahenry is an SI-derived unit of inductance equal to 10^15 henry, used mainly for extremely large inductance values in theoretical or large-scale electromagnetic calculations.
-
Why would I convert petahenry to femtohenry?
-
Converting petahenry to femtohenry helps translate very large inductance values into very small units, making it easier to compare and model inductances across drastically different scales.
-
Where are femtohenry units commonly used?
-
Femtohenry measurements are common in microelectronic design, detailing parasitic inductances in PCB traces, on-chip inductors, and high-frequency circuit components.
