henry
Coil resistance measure
A henry is the unit of electrical inductance in the International System of Units, measuring a circuit's tendency to oppose changes in current.
Named after American physicist Joseph Henry.
Symbol: H.
The coil has an inductance of 0.5 henrys.
Plural: henrys or henries. (Capitalized Henry is a given name.)
