Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a petahenry (PH)?
-
Petahenry is an SI-derived unit of inductance equal to 10^15 henry, used to express extremely large inductance values.
-
What does weber per ampere (Wb/A) measure?
-
Weber per ampere is the SI derived unit of inductance, measuring magnetic flux linkage per unit current, identical to the henry.
