     amp[`e]re a second.

  henry
  
     <unit> (H) The SI unit of inductance: one henry is the
     inductance of a closed loop in which the induced voltage is
     one volt if the current flowing through it changes by one
     ampere each second, i.e., 1 H = 1 Vs/A.  Named after the
     American physicist Joseph Henry (1797-1878).
