What Is This Tool?
This tool converts electrical inductance values from terahenry (TH), an SI-derived unit representing 10^12 henry, to exahenry (EH), which represents 10^18 henry. It helps users express large inductances with the appropriate SI prefixes, particularly for astrophysical, geophysical, and electromagnetic theory contexts.
