Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an abmho?
-
An abmho is a historical unit of electrical conductance used in the centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic (CGS-EMU) system, defined as the reciprocal of the abohm.
-
Why convert abmho to millisiemens?
-
Converting abmho to millisiemens translates older CGS-EMU conductance values into modern SI units for practical engineering and scientific applications.
-
How large is 1 abmho in millisiemens?
-
1 abmho equals 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) millisiemens.
Key Terminology
-
Abmho
-
A historical CGS-EMU unit of electrical conductance, defined as the reciprocal of the abohm.
-
Millisiemens [mS]
-
One thousandth of a siemens, measuring electrical conductance in the SI system.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The numerical factor used to convert values between unit systems; here, 1 abmho equals 1,000,000,000,000 millisiemens.
