Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one terahenry represent?
-
One terahenry (TH) represents an inductance equal to 10 to the power of 12 henrys, used for very large inductance values.
-
Where is picohenry commonly used?
-
Picohenry (pH) is commonly used to quantify very small inductances such as those in high-speed circuits, RF integrated circuits, and microwave components.
-
Is this conversion practical for direct measurement?
-
No, due to the vast scale difference, converting terahenry to picohenry is primarily useful for theoretical calculations and detailed electronic design instead of direct measurement.
Key Terminology
-
Terahenry (TH)
-
An SI-derived unit of electrical inductance equal to one trillion henrys, used to express extremely large inductances in scientific models.
-
Picohenry (pH)
-
A unit of inductance equal to one trillionth of a henry, typically used to quantify very small inductances in electronics.
