What Is This Tool?
This tool facilitates the conversion of inductance measurements from the stathenry (stH), a unit used primarily in the cgs-electrostatic (Gaussian/ESU) system, to the weber per ampere (Wb/A), the SI derived unit identical to the henry. It helps users interpret values from older theoretical contexts into contemporary engineering and scientific applications.

Numerical precision may be affected when converting extremely small or very large inductance values.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the stathenry unit used for?
-
The stathenry is a cgs-electrostatic unit of inductance mostly used in older theoretical studies, including electrodynamics and astrophysics.
-
Why convert from stathenry to weber per ampere?
-
Converting allows translating inductance values from the traditional cgs system to the modern SI system for practical engineering and scientific applications.
-
What is the relation between weber per ampere and henry?
-
The weber per ampere is identical to the henry, the SI derived unit of inductance.
Key Terminology
-
Stathenry [stH]
-
A cgs-electrostatic unit of inductance defined by the relation producing an electromotive force of one statvolt when current changes at one statampere per second.
-
Weber per ampere [Wb/A]
-
An SI derived unit of inductance measuring magnetic flux linkage per unit current, equivalent to the henry.
