Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an abmho?
-
An abmho is an electrical conductance unit in the CGS-EMU system, defined as the reciprocal of the abohm, and used mainly in older electromagnetic contexts.
-
How is mho related to siemens?
-
The mho is a historical unit of electrical conductance equal to one siemens, defined as the reciprocal of an ohm.
-
Why convert abmho to mho?
-
Converting abmho to mho helps translate conductance measurements from older CGS-EMU units into more commonly used and practical units for modern engineering and scientific work.
