(electromagnetism) The unit of inductance in the electrostatic centimeter-gram-second system of units, equal to the self-inductance of a circuit or the mutual inductance between two circuits if there is an induced electromotive force of 1 statvolt when the current is changing at a rate of 1 statampere per second; equal to approximately 8.9876 × 10¹¹ henry. Abbreviated statH.

[Etymology: electrostatic henry] electromagnetic inductance. Symbol statH. Metric-c.g.s. The henry of the e.s.u. system and of the Gaussian system, for a steady current identically statV/statA/second. 1 statH = 898.755 2~ GH.
