Orders of magnitude (inductance)

From HandWiki

This page is a progressive and labeled list of the SI inductance orders of magnitude, with certain examples appended to some list objects.

List of orders of magnitude for inductance
Factor
[Henry]
SI prefix Value Item
10−42 N/A 1.62×10−42 H Planck inductance
10−12 Pico- (pH) 90×10−12 H Kinetic inductance (per square) of an MKID detector.[1]
10−9 Nano- (nH) 1×10−9 H Thin film chip inductor 1.6 × 0.8 mm with a typical power rating of 0.1 W. Range 1 — 100 nH.[2]
525×10−9 H One meter cat.5 cable pair.[3]
10−6 Micro- (µH) 1×10−6 H One meter of single wire, less for larger diameter.[4]
50×10−6 H Coil with 99 turns, 0.635 cm long with a diameter of 0.635 cm.
10−3 Milli- (mH) 1×10−3 H Coil 2.2 cm long with a diameter of 1.6 cm. with 800 mA capability. Used in kW amplifiers.[5]
100 (H) 1×100 H Inductor a few cm long and a few cm in diameter and having many turns of wire on a ferrite core.[6] Higher values than this is common only in audio and power supplies.[7]
8 .. 11×100 H Mains electricity transformer primary at 120 V.[8][9]
103 Kilo- (kH) 1.326×103 H 500 kV, 3000 MW power line transformer primary winding.[10]
