Converted values in stathenry are extremely small compared to weber/ampere units.
-
Small numerical results may be impractical for direct engineering applications.
-
Precision must be maintained to avoid errors during conversion.
-
The tool does not account for unit system incompatibility beyond inductance.
-
Not suitable for conversions involving units outside the given definitions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the weber/ampere (Wb/A) unit?
-
The weber per ampere is the SI derived unit of inductance representing magnetic flux linkage per unit current, equivalent to the henry.
-
When should I use the stathenry (stH) unit?
-
The stathenry is used in the cgs-electrostatic system, commonly in theoretical physics fields like plasma physics and astrophysics or to interpret older scientific papers.
-
Why are converted values often very small?
-
Because the stathenry unit is much smaller than the weber/ampere, converting results in tiny numbers, making them less practical for typical engineering use.
Key Terminology
-
Weber/ampere (Wb/A)
-
The SI derived unit of inductance equal to one henry; measures magnetic flux linkage per unit current.
-
Stathenry (stH)
-
The cgs-electrostatic unit of inductance producing one statvolt electromotive force when current changes at one statampere per second.
-
Inductance
-
The property of an electrical circuit element to generate electromotive force in response to a change in current.
