Definition, Meaning & Synonyms

henries

noun

/ˈhɛnriz/

Definition

The henry is the SI unit of inductance, representing the amount of inductance that will induce a voltage of one volt in a circuit when the current changes at the rate of one ampere per second.

Examples

When the current passing through the coil changes, the induced voltage can be calculated using henries.
This circuit has an inductance of 2 henries, meaning it can generate a specific voltage under changing current conditions.
