Mho per Meter

mho/m

Definition

An alternative unit for electric conductivity equivalent to siemens per meter. The name "mho" is "ohm" spelled backwards, reflecting its relationship to electrical resistance.

History/Origin

The mho unit was introduced as the reciprocal of the ohm, with the name being "ohm" spelled backwards. It was commonly used before the adoption of the siemens in the SI system.

Current Use

Still used in some electrical engineering contexts, particularly in older literature and certain specialized applications, though siemens per meter is preferred.

Abmho per Centimeter

abmho/cm

Definition

A very large unit of electric conductivity equal to 100 billion siemens per meter. Used in the CGS electromagnetic system for extremely high conductivity materials.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electromagnetic unit system, combining the abmho unit with the centimeter length unit. Used in classical electromagnetic theory.

Current Use

Used in theoretical physics and electrical engineering for characterizing materials with exceptionally high electrical conductivity in specialized applications.
