The unit ―henry‖ is equivalent to:
Correct answer: A. Volt-second/ampere
- A. Volt-second/ampere
- B. Volt/second
- C. Ohm
- D. Ampere volt/second
Explanation
The unit "henry" (H) is used to measure inductance in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the inductance of a circuit in which an electromotive force of one volt is induced when the current through the circuit changes at a rate of one ampere per second. Thus, the unit "henry" is equivalent to "volt-second/ampere." This reflects the relationship between electromotive force, current change rate, and inductance. Other options provided, such as "volt/second," "ohm," and "ampere volt/second," do not accurately describe inductance. "Volt/second" pertains to the rate of change of electric potential, "ohm" is the unit for resistance, and "ampere volt/second" does not correspond to a recognized unit in this context.

About AC Through Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor
Alternating current through a resistor, capacitor and inductor involves phase relationships between voltage and current, reactance, impedance and energy transfer. A resistor keeps voltage and current in phase, while a capacitor and inductor produce opposite phase shifts, a distinction used in circuit diagrams and numerical calculations.
