henry to centihenry
Convert henry (H) to centihenry (cH). Use an editable inductance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 H = 100 cH
Conversion formula
One henry equals 100 centihenry. Multiply your value in henry by this factor to get centihenry. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 henry:5 × 100 = 500 cH

About these measurements
Inductance describes the relationship between changing current and induced voltage.
The base reference used here is the henry. One henry is 1 base units; one centihenry is 0.01 base units.
Important distinctions
A prefix changes only the scale of the inductance unit.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert H to cH?
Multiply the quantity in H by 100. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the centihenry to henry converter.
