Quick answer
Inductance measures a coil's opposition to changing current, in henries. One millihenry is 0.001 H, one microhenry 10⁻⁶ H and one nanohenry 10⁻⁹ H. As with the farad, the henry is large for practical parts: most inductors in electronics are rated in millihenries or microhenries.
| Henry (H) | 1 |
| Millihenry (mH) | 1000 |
| Microhenry (µH) | 1000000 |
| Nanohenry (nH) | 1000000000 |
About the Inductance Converter
Inductance measures a component's tendency to oppose changes in electric current by storing energy in a magnetic field. The SI unit is the henry.
This converter handles henries, millihenries, microhenries and nanohenries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is inductance?
⌄
Inductance is the property by which a changing current induces a voltage that opposes the change, storing energy in a magnetic field.
What is the SI unit?
⌄
The SI unit is the henry (H). Practical inductors are often rated in millihenries or microhenries.
Where is inductance used?
⌄
Inductors are used in filters, transformers, power supplies and many radio-frequency circuits.
