abhenrys
n. C2 Proficiency ab·hen·rys
n. a very small unit used to measure inductance. One abhenry is equal to one billionth of a henry.
n. a unit of inductance equal to one billionth of a henry. Used primarily in the centimetre-gram-second system of units.
The coil has a very small inductance of 10 abhenrys.
In the early days of electrical engineering, scientists often measured inductance in abhenrys to handle very small values.
While the henry is the standard SI unit for inductance, the abhenry remains a historical reference point for those working with extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields.
