Not intended for scientific explanations beyond unit definitions and conversions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does weber per ampere measure?
-
Weber per ampere (Wb/A) measures inductance, quantifying magnetic flux linkage per unit current, and is identical to the henry.
-
How is decihenry related to henry?
-
A decihenry (dH) equals one tenth of a henry, representing an inductance value useful for moderate ranges.
-
When should I use this conversion?
-
Use this conversion to express inductance in more manageable units for medium-range inductors and component specifications.
Key Terminology
-
Weber per ampere (Wb/A)
-
An SI-derived unit of inductance equal to one henry, measuring magnetic flux linkage per unit current.
-
Decihenry (dH)
-
An SI-derived inductance unit equal to one tenth of a henry, used for medium-range inductance values.
