Henry (inductance)

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia


The henry (symbol H) is the SI unit of inductance. If the rate of change of current in a circuit is one ampere per second and the resulting electromotive force is one volt, then the inductance of the circuit is one henry.

The henry has dimensions V?A-1?s = m²?kg?s-2?A-2 in SI units.

The unit is named after the American scientist Joseph Henry.
