Millisiemens

Definition

A metric unit of electric conductance equal to one thousandth of a siemens. Used for measuring moderate conductance values in electrical circuits and semiconductor devices.

History/Origin

Derived from the siemens unit with the milli prefix, representing 10^-3 siemens. Widely used in electronics and electrical engineering for measuring conductance in semiconductor devices and electronic circuits.

Current Use

Commonly used in electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, and electrical engineering for measuring moderate conductance values. Essential for characterizing electronic components and semiconductor devices.

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.
