About Converting Centihenrys to Petahenrys
Centihenry and Petahenry both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Centihenry is 0.01 henry units, and petahenry is 1000000000000000 henry units.
Formula
petahenrys = centihenrys × 1e-17
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centihenry equals 0.01 base units, and 1 petahenry equals 1e+15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centihenry-to-petahenry factor of 1e-17.
Simple example
1 cH × 1e-17 = 1e-17 PH
1 centihenry = 1e-17 petahenrys.
Real-world example
120 cH × 1e-17 = 1.2e-15 PH
120 centihenrys = 1.2e-15 petahenrys.

Frequently asked questions
How many petahenrys are in 1 centihenry?
1 centihenry equals 1e-17 petahenrys, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centihenry to petahenry?
Multiply the centihenry value by 1e-17. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert petahenry back to centihenry?
Use the reverse factor: 1 petahenry equals 1e+17 centihenrys. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centihenry?
Centihenry (cH) is a unit of electricity.
What is a petahenry?
Petahenry (PH) is a unit of electricity.
Is the centihenry to petahenry conversion exact?
Yes. Both centihenry and petahenry are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e-17 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
