SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the conversion of electrical units, specifically questioning whether ohms can be converted to henrys. It is established that ohms (Ω) measure resistance, while henrys (H) measure inductance, and thus they represent different physical quantities. The confusion arises from the use of "L" as a unit, which is correctly identified as henrys, not ohms. The concept of electrical reactance is also mentioned as relevant to understanding these units.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical resistance and inductance

Homework Statement


I came across a question in my homework sheet where it give the unit of "L" in ohm when it supposed to be "Henry" (right?). So I just wondering, can ohm be converted into Henry?
