Henry (H)
Definition: The Henry is the SI unit of inductance. It defines the quantity of magnetic flux that is produced per unit electric current flowing through a coil or circuit.
Application: Pretty much used by physicists and electrical engineers to describe the properties of the coils, transformers, and other parts in AC circuits.
Millihenry (mH)
Definition: Millihenry is the symbol used to describe 0.001 Henry. This unit is used where smaller inductance values will be measured.
Usage: For small inductors on electronic circuits, the applications include filters, oscillators, and RF.
Microhenry (µH)
Description: A microhenry is 0.000001 Henry with the application of measurement purposes in a much smaller scale of inductances.
Usage: Generally, applied in high frequency circuits, antennas, and small electronic components where it requires low inductance.
Kilohenry (kH)
Description: A kilohenry is 1,000 Henrys with applications in measuring high inductive values.
Usage: Used in high-power applications such as transformers, heavy industrial equipment, and specialized scientific instruments.
Megahenry (MH)
Definition : It is that quantity that equals 1,000,000 Henrys. Thus, the values of inductance are extremely high.
Usage: It is rarely used but useful for advanced computations and theoretical works, sometimes in research activities or in power systems requiring very high inductance.
