Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a stathenry?
-
A stathenry (stH) is the cgs-electrostatic unit of inductance, defined to relate electromotive force and current rate changes in the cgs (Gaussian/ESU) system.
-
How large is one megahenry?
-
One megahenry (MH) equals one million henrys and measures inductance in a much larger scale than stathenry.
-
Why convert from stathenry to megahenry?
-
Converting helps translate older or theoretical inductance values into practical units commonly used in large-scale electromagnetic modeling and analyses.
Key Terminology
-
Stathenry [stH]
-
A cgs-electrostatic unit of inductance used in the Gaussian/ESU system, relating electromotive force and current changes.
-
Megahenry [MH]
-
An SI-derived unit of inductance equal to one million henrys, used for measuring very large inductance values.
-
Inductance
-
A property of electrical conductors or circuits that produces an induced voltage proportional to the rate of current change.
