Frequently Asked Questions

What is an abmho?
An abmho is a unit of electrical conductance in the CGS-EMU system, defined as the reciprocal of the abohm, and mainly found in older scientific contexts.

Why convert abmho to microsiemens [µS]?
Conversion allows translating legacy conductance values into modern SI units to enable comparison and application in current engineering or research.

What does a microsiemens measure?
A microsiemens measures electric conductance, indicating how easily electric current flows, and is commonly used for small conductances and ionic conductivity.

Key Terminology

Abmho
A historical CGS-EMU unit of electrical conductance defined as the reciprocal of the abohm, used in older electromagnetic formulations.
Microsiemens [µS]
A modern SI unit of electric conductance equal to one millionth of a siemens, used for measuring small conductances and ionic conductivity.
Electrical Conductance
A measure of how easily electric current flows between two points; the reciprocal of electrical resistance.
