What this tool does
Convert abhenries to nanohenries, henries, microhenries, stathenries and other inductance units. Type an amount in abhenries (EMU of inductance), choose the units, and the tool converts it to nanohenries. It offers 11 inductance units and also shows the same amount in the others.
Inputs
- Value: A number.
- From: Choose one from 11 options, including Terahenry, Gigahenry, Megahenry, Kilohenry, Henry, Millihenry. Starts as Abhenry (EMU of inductance).
- To: Choose one of the same 11 units as "From". Starts as Nanohenry.
How to use
- Enter the amount you want to convert.
- Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
- Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.
Worked examples
Abhenries (EMU of inductance) and nanohenries are the same size, so the number does not change: an amount in abhenries (EMU of inductance) is the same amount in nanohenries.

Limitations
- Converts the unit of an inductance only. It does not work out inductance from coil turns, core or geometry, and it does not combine inductors in series or parallel.
- Abhenry and stathenry are historical CGS units, listed for completeness.
FAQs
- Q: How many nanohenries is one abhenry?
- A: One abhenry is exactly 1 nanohenry (10⁻⁹ henry). It is the inductance unit of the CGS electromagnetic system.
- Q: What is the difference between an abhenry and a stathenry?
- A: The abhenry belongs to the electromagnetic CGS system and the stathenry to the electrostatic CGS system. One stathenry is about 8.9876 × 10¹¹ henries, so it is vastly larger than an abhenry.
- Q: Can I convert from henries to abhenries?
- A: Yes. Choose henry in the From box and abhenry in the To box.
