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.

Microsiemens

µS

Definition

A metric unit of electric conductance equal to one millionth of a siemens. Used for measuring low conductance values in electronics, water quality testing, and semiconductor applications.

History/Origin

Derived from the siemens unit with the micro prefix, representing 10^-6 siemens. Widely used in electronics, water quality analysis, and semiconductor research for measuring low conductance values.

Current Use

Extensively used in water quality testing, electronics, and semiconductor manufacturing for measuring low conductance values. Essential for characterizing semiconductor materials and water conductivity measurements.
