Siemens per Meter

S/m

Definition

The SI unit of electric conductivity, representing the ability of a material to conduct electric current per unit length. It measures how easily electricity flows through a material.

History/Origin

Named after Werner von Siemens, the German electrical engineer and industrialist who founded Siemens AG. The siemens unit was adopted as the SI unit for electric conductance in 1971.

Current Use

Widely used in electrical engineering, material science, and physics to characterize the electrical properties of conductors, semiconductors, and insulators in various applications.
