  2. Henry (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_(unit)

    The henry (symbol: H) is the unit of electrical inductance in the International System of Units (SI). [1] If a current of 1 ampere flowing through a coil produces flux linkage of 1 weber turn, that coil has a self-inductance of 1 henry.‌ The unit is named after Joseph Henry (1797–1878), the American scientist who discovered electromagnetic induction independently of and at about the same ...

  3. Magnetic reluctance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_reluctance

    Its SI derived unit is the henry (the same as the unit of inductance, although the two concepts are distinct). Magnetic flux always forms a closed loop, as described by Maxwell's equations, but the path of the loop depends on the reluctance of the surrounding materials. It is concentrated around the path of least reluctance.

  4. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    The unit of inductance in the SI system is the henry (H), named after Joseph Henry, which is the amount of inductance that generates a voltage of one volt when the current is changing at a rate of one ampere per second. All conductors have some inductance, which may have either desirable or detrimental effects in practical electrical devices.

  5. Inductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor

    In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of inductance is the henry (H) named for 19th century American scientist Joseph Henry. In the measurement of magnetic circuits, it is equivalent to ⁠ weber / ampere ⁠. Inductors have values that typically range from 1 μH (10 −6 H) to 20 H.

  6. Henry's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry's_law

    Henry's law. In physical chemistry, Henry's law is a gas law that states that the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid. The proportionality factor is called Henry's law constant. It was formulated by the English chemist William Henry, who studied the topic in the early 19th century.

  8. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability...

    In SI units, permeability is measured in henries per meter (H/m), or equivalently in newtons per ampere squared (N/A 2). The permeability constant μ 0, also known as the magnetic constant or the permeability of free space, is the proportionality between magnetic induction and magnetizing force when forming a magnetic field in a classical vacuum.
