The large conversion factor may cause computational issues if not managed properly
-
Conversion precision depends on consistent understanding of differing CGS systems
-
Not suitable for modern practical measurements without additional unit conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an abmho?
-
An abmho is a historical CGS-EMU unit of electrical conductance defined as the reciprocal of the abohm, used mainly in older electromagnetic research.
-
Why convert from abmho to statmho?
-
Conversion allows comparing and integrating legacy data from CGS-EMU units with those in CGS-esu units, often necessary in theoretical and historical studies.
-
Are abmho and statmho used in modern engineering?
-
No, both units have largely been replaced by the siemens in modern SI-based engineering and scientific reporting.
Key Terminology
-
Abmho
-
A CGS-EMU unit of electrical conductance, the reciprocal of the abohm, used historically in electromagnetic studies.
-
Statmho
-
A CGS-esu (electrostatic) unit of electrical conductance, defined as the reciprocal of the statohm.
-
Conversion Factor
-
The rate at which one unit converts to another; here, 1 Abmho equals 899000000000000000000 Statmho.
