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.

Abmho per Meter

abmho/m

Definition

A large unit of electric conductivity equal to one billion siemens per meter. Part of the CGS electromagnetic unit system, used for materials with very high conductivity.

History/Origin

Derived from the CGS electromagnetic unit system, where "ab" stands for "absolute" electromagnetic units. The abmho is the electromagnetic unit of conductance.

Current Use

Primarily used in theoretical physics and electrical engineering for materials with extremely high conductivity, such as superconductors and highly conductive metals.
