Ampere per Volt

A/V

Definition

An alternative unit of electric conductance equal to one siemens, representing the ratio of current to voltage. Used in electrical engineering to express conductance in terms of basic electrical quantities.

History/Origin

Derived from Ohm's law, where conductance is the inverse of resistance. The ampere per volt unit directly expresses conductance as the ratio of current to voltage, making it intuitive for electrical calculations.

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering education and calculations where conductance is expressed in terms of current and voltage. Common in circuit analysis and electrical engineering textbooks.

Mho

℧

Definition

An older unit of electric conductance equal to one siemens, representing the inverse of resistance. The name "mho" is "ohm" spelled backwards, reflecting its relationship to resistance.

History/Origin

Created as the inverse of the ohm unit for measuring electrical conductance. The name "mho" (ohm spelled backwards) was used before the adoption of the siemens as the official SI unit of conductance.

Current Use

Still used in some electrical engineering contexts and older technical literature. Gradually being replaced by the siemens unit in modern electrical engineering practice and international standards.
