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.

Statmho per Meter

stmho/m

Definition

A very small unit of electric conductivity from the CGS electrostatic unit system, equal to approximately 1.11 × 10^-12 siemens per meter.

History/Origin

Derived from the CGS electrostatic unit system, where "stat" refers to electrostatic units. The statmho is the electrostatic unit of conductance.

Current Use

Used in theoretical physics and electrical engineering for materials with extremely low electrical conductivity, particularly in electrostatic applications.
