4 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Henry \Hen"ry\, n.; pl {Henrys}. [From Joseph Henry, an American physicist.] The unit of electric induction; the induction in a circuit when the electro-motive force induced in this circuit is one volt, while the inducing current varies at the rate of one amp[`e]re a second From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: henry n 1: a unit of inductance in which an induced electromotive force of one volt is produced when the current is varied at the rate of one ampere per second [syn: {H}] 2: (1791-1878) American physicist who studied electromagnetic phenomena [syn: {Henry}, {Joseph Henry}] From U.S. Gazetteer (1990) [gazetteer]: Henry, IL (city, FIPS 34163) Location: 41.11233 N, 89.36180 W Population (1990): 2591 (1064 housing units) Area: 3.2 sq km (land), 0.2 sq km (water) Zip code(s): 61537 Henry, NE (village, FIPS 22150) Location: 41.99829 N, 104.04630 W Population (1990): 145 (64 housing units) Area: 0.8 sq km (land), 0.0 sq km (water) Zip code(s): 69349 Henry, SD (town, FIPS 28140) Location: 44.88095 N, 97.46260 W Population (1990): 215 (96 housing units) Area: 4.0 sq km (land), 0.0 sq km (water) Zip code(s): 57243 Henry, TN (town, FIPS 33400) Location: 36.20050 N, 88.41056 W Population (1990): 317 (132 housing units) Area: 2.8 sq km (land), 0.0 sq km (water) Zip code(s): 38231 Henry, VA Zip code(s): 24102 From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: henryH 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). (1997-03-16)
