henry
The SI derived unit of electrical inductance, defined as the amount of inductance that produces an electromotive force of one volt when the current changes at a rate of one ampere per second.
Noun
pl: henries
This term functions as a technical unit of measurement in electromagnetism, specifically quantifying inductance. It carries a neutral, scientific connotation and is used exclusively within the domains of physics and electrical engineering to describe the ability of a conductor to induce voltage.
As a standard SI unit, it follows the typical pattern of named units where the singular form is used for the value of one, while pluralization occurs for any value other than one. It does not possess the irregular countability constraints found in mass nouns.
Meanings
Examples
A single henry is a very large amount of inductance for most electronic components.
Trivia
The measurement was recorded as ten millihenries.
Office
Is the inductance measured in henries or microhenries?
