Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the relationship between weber/ampere and henry?
-
One weber per ampere is identical to one henry and measures inductance based on magnetic flux linkage per unit current.
-
Why convert weber/ampere to centihenry?
-
Converting to centihenry helps express larger inductance values as smaller units, which is helpful for low inductance components common in consumer electronics and RF designs.
-
Are there any accuracy concerns when converting units?
-
Yes, rounding during conversions might affect precision, especially in sensitive circuit designs.
Key Terminology
-
Weber per ampere [Wb/A]
-
An SI derived unit of inductance measuring magnetic flux linkage per unit current, equivalent to one henry.
-
Centihenry [cH]
-
A unit of electrical inductance equal to one hundredth of a henry, used for small inductance values in electronic components.
-
Inductance
-
A property of a conductor that quantifies its tendency to oppose changes in current by inducing voltage.
