Henry (unit) inductor: where "V"("t") denotes the resulting voltage across the circuit, "I"("t") is the current through the circuit, and "L" is the inductance of the circuit. The henry is a derived unit based on four of the seven base units of the International System of Units: kilogram (kg), metre (m), second (s), and ampere (A). Expressed in combinations of SI units, the henry is: in which the following additional derived units occur: coulomb (C), farad (F), joule (J), weber (Wb), tesla (T), volt (V), hertz (Hz), and ohm (Ω). The International System of Units (SI) specifies to write the symbol of
Siemens (unit) of Units (SI)" refers to the mho as an "unaccepted special name for an SI unit", and indicates that it should be strictly avoided. The SI term "siemens" is used universally in science and often in electrical applications, while "mho" is still used in some electronic contexts. The inverted capital omega symbol, while not an official SI abbreviation, is less likely to be confused with a variable than the letter S when doing algebraic calculations by hand, where the usual typographical distinctions (such as italic for variables and Roman for unit names) are difficult to maintain. Likewise, it is difficult
