Unit Information

Stathenry

The inductance unit in the electrostatic system of units (ESU), approximately equal to 8.9876 × 10¹¹ henries. One of the largest practical inductance units, representing enormous magnetic energy storage capacity. Used primarily in theoretical physics and electromagnetic theory calculations within the CGS system. Important for understanding fundamental electromagnetic relationships and for maintaining consistency in historical scientific literature involving electrostatic unit systems.

Henry

The SI derived unit of electrical inductance, named after American scientist Joseph Henry. Defined as the inductance of a closed circuit in which an electromotive force of one volt is produced when the electric current in the circuit varies uniformly at a rate of one ampere per second. Fundamental to electrical engineering and electronics for characterizing energy storage in magnetic fields, transformer design, filter circuits, and power systems. Essential for understanding electromagnetic phenomena and designing inductive components.

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.

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.
