The description does not give any feel for what a Henry measures

[edit] Plural

Is it henrys or henries? —Keenan Pepper 01:56, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

See Talk:Inductance. We seem to have a slight preference for henries, but it's not conclusive. --Heron 18:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't this page be renamed to Henry (unit) ?

Yes, it should! Melchoir 10:45, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Why is there a list of multiples? Aren't they just the standard SI prefixes?

It's there so that someone following a link from microhenry or whatever will know why they are here. We used to have a bunch of articles about various prefixed units, but they were mostly removed (except in a few cases with special reasons for keeping them) and changed to redirects to the base unit. These redirects can now be linked to go directly to the section with the table showing what the linked prefixed unit or prefixed unit symbol means. Gene Nygaard (talk) 02:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

The unit conversion for newton may be off by m, rather than m^2 below

H = \dfrac{\mbox{m}^2 \cdot \mbox{kg}}{\mbox{s}^{2} \cdot \mbox{A}^2} = \dfrac{\mbox{Wb}}{\mbox{A}} = \dfrac{\mbox{V} \cdot \mbox{s}}{\mbox{A}} = \dfrac{\mbox{m}^2 \cdot \mbox{kg}}{\mbox{C}^2}
