Definition: The Henry (symbol: H) is the SI derived unit of inductance.
Application: It is used as the unit for both Self-inductance (L) and Mutual inductance (M).
Source Verification: According to the NCERT Physics text, the constant of proportionality L (self-inductance) has the SI unit of henry . Similarly, the coefficient M (mutual inductance) corresponds to the same physical dimension (flux linkage per ampere) and is also measured in henry .
Dimensional Analysis: Both quantities define the relationship between induced emf and the rate of change of current (ε=−LdtdI or ε=−MdtdI), resulting in the same unit .
