Unit Information

Millihenry

A metric subunit of electrical inductance equal to one thousandth of a henry (10⁻³ H). Commonly used for practical inductors in electronic circuits, power supplies, and filtering applications. Represents typical inductance values for air-core inductors, ferrite-core inductors, and chokes used in DC-DC converters, RF circuits, and electromagnetic interference suppression. Essential for circuit design where inductive components control current flow, store magnetic energy, and filter high-frequency noise.

Microhenry

A metric subunit of electrical inductance equal to one millionth of a henry (10⁻⁶ H). Widely used for small inductors in high-frequency circuits, RF applications, and switching power supplies. Common for surface-mount inductors, toroidal inductors, and RF chokes used in impedance matching, resonant circuits, and electromagnetic compatibility applications. Essential for high-frequency circuit design where small inductance values control signal integrity and prevent electromagnetic interference.

Learn More About Inductance

Scientific Overview

Inductance is the property of an electrical conductor by which a change in electric current through it induces an electromotive force (EMF) in both the conductor itself (self-inductance) and in any nearby conductors (mutual inductance). It is measured in henries (H).

Historical Background

The phenomenon of inductance was discovered in the 1830s by Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry independently. Faraday formulated the law of electromagnetic induction, while Henry demonstrated self-inductance. The unit henry is named after Joseph Henry.

Real-World Applications

Power Electronics

Inductors store energy and filter current in switching power supplies.

Signal Processing

Inductors are used in tuned circuits for frequency selection in radios and TVs.

Electric Motors

Inductance principles are fundamental to the operation of transformers and electric motors.

EMI Suppression

Inductors block high-frequency noise in electronic circuits.

Wireless Charging

Inductive coupling enables contactless energy transfer.

Interesting Facts

A changing current through an inductor creates a magnetic field that opposes the change.
Superconducting magnets can have inductances of thousands of henries.
The human body has negligible inductance compared to typical electronic components.
Air core inductors have lower inductance but can operate at higher frequencies.
Inductance causes the "kickback" voltage spike when current is suddenly interrupted.
