Mho per Centimeter

mho/cm

Definition

A unit of electric conductivity equal to 100 siemens per meter. Commonly used in electrical engineering for materials with moderate to high conductivity.

History/Origin

Derived from the mho unit combined with the centimeter length unit. This unit was popular in electrical engineering before the widespread adoption of SI units.

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering, particularly for characterizing the conductivity of metals, electrolytes, and semiconductor materials in practical applications.

Picosiemens per Meter

pS/m

Definition

A very small unit of electric conductivity equal to one trillionth of a siemens per meter. Used for measuring extremely low electrical conductivity in insulating materials.

History/Origin

Derived from the SI prefix pico- (10^-12) combined with the siemens per meter unit. Pico- comes from the Italian word "piccolo" meaning small.

Current Use

Commonly used in electrical engineering and material science to measure the conductivity of highly insulating materials like ceramics, plastics, and pure water.
