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.

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.
