Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Siemens and Mho?

Siemens (S) is the SI unit of electric conductance, while Mho (℧) is the older term meaning the same thing (1 S = 1 ℧). Mho is “Ohm” spelled backwards, reflecting its inverse relationship to resistance.

When would I use Abmho versus Statmho?

Abmho is used in the CGS electromagnetic system for extremely conductive materials, while Statmho is used in the CGS electrostatic system for theoretical calculations. 1 S = 10⁹ ab℧, while 1 S = 8.98752×10¹¹ stat℧/m and 1 S = 8.987524324×10⁹ stat℧/cm.

What are typical conductivity values?

Copper: ~5.96 × 10⁷ S/m; Seawater: ~5 S/m; Deionized water: ~5.5 × 10⁻⁶ S/m; Glass: ~10⁻¹² S/m; Superconductors: effectively infinite conductivity.

How precise are these conversions?

All conversions use exact defined relationships with standard conversion factors maintaining high precision for scientific and engineering applications.
