1 henry (symbol: H) is the unit of inductance in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the ability of a coil or inductor to store energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it.
To put it simply:
Mathematically, it is defined as:
\[
L = \frac{V}{\frac{di}{dt}}
\]
Where:
So, 1 henry means that if you change the current in an inductor at the rate of 1 ampere per second, the induced voltage will be 1 volt.
To put it simply:
- If you have an inductor with an inductance of 1 henry, and you change the current through it at a rate of 1 ampere per second, the inductor will create a voltage of 1 volt across it.
Mathematically, it is defined as:
\[
L = \frac{V}{\frac{di}{dt}}
\]
Where:
- \(L\) is the inductance (in henries),
- \(V\) is the voltage across the inductor (in volts),
- \(\frac{di}{dt}\) is the rate of change of current (in amperes per second).
So, 1 henry means that if you change the current in an inductor at the rate of 1 ampere per second, the induced voltage will be 1 volt.
