What does HENRY mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The unit of electrical inductance in the International System of Units, equal to the inductance that produces one volt when the current changes at one ampere per second.
Engineers use the henry to measure how strongly a coil or circuit resists a change in electric current, a property called inductance. The unit takes its name from Joseph Henry, the American scientist who studied electromagnetic induction alongside Michael Faraday. Because a full henry is a fairly large unit, many practical components are instead rated in millihenries or microhenries.
How HENRY is used
A technical unit used mainly in physics and electrical engineering, rarely encountered outside those fields.
- The inductor was rated at two henry.
- Engineers measured the coil's inductance in henry units.
- A single henry represents a fairly large amount of inductance.
- The transformer's windings were specified in millihenries rather than a full henry.
- Textbooks introduce the henry alongside the ohm and the farad.
