henry, H


is: the SI unit of inductance.

is defined: by so a closed circuit will have an inductance of when the current in it varies at a rate of to produce an induced voltage of    [P4.4, P4.5]

is, for practical purposes: a medium sized unit. Widely used inductances vary from a few microhenry to hundreds of henry.   [P4.5, P5.4]
