mH(millihenry) – Inductance – All In One Units Converts

Unit	mH
Name	millihenry
Category	Inductance
Details	In the field of electromagnetism and electronics, inductance is a property of an electrical conductor or coil that opposes changes in the current flowing through it. Essentially, inductance is a measure of the ability of a coil or conductor to store electrical energy in the form of a magnetic field. The unit of inductance is the henry (H), which is named after American scientist Joseph Henry who made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism. One henry is the inductance of a coil in which a current change of one ampere per second induces an electromotive force of one volt across the coil. The prefix "mega" denotes a factor of one million, so a megahenry (MH) is equal to 1,000,000 henrys. Thus, one megahenry of inductance represents a very high inductance value where a current change of one ampere per second induces an electromotive force of 1,000,000 volts across the coil. In practical terms, you typically don't encounter inductances in the megahenry range in everyday electronics, as these would represent extremely large and powerful inductors. However, in specific applications like high-voltage power transmission or large-scale industrial machinery, you may find inductances of this magnitude.
