What Is This Tool?
This unit converter tool allows you to convert electrical conductance measurements from ampere per volt (A/V), the SI unit, to gemmho, a historically used but non-standard unit. It helps express conductance values clearly for applications in circuit design, electrochemistry, and semiconductor evaluation.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the electrical conductance value in ampere per volt [A/V].
-
Select the target unit as gemmho for conversion.
-
Run the conversion to get the equivalent value in gemmho.
-
Use the result for comparing measurements or interpreting legacy data.
Key Features
-
Converts electric conductance values between ampere/volt and gemmho units.
-
Displays conversions suitable for electrical engineering and electrochemical contexts.
-
Provides practical examples to illustrate the conversion process.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without the need for additional software.
Examples
-
Convert 0.5 A/V to gemmho: results in 500,000 gemmho.
-
Convert 2 A/V to gemmho: results in 2,000,000 gemmho.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying conductance of passive circuit elements and electrical networks.
-
Expressing transistor transconductance for device and amplifier analysis.
-
Characterizing ionic or electrode conductance in electrochemistry and sensors.
-
Working with legacy data or documentation using historical conductance units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Prefer using standard SI siemens units for clarity in technical communication.
-
Confirm unit context carefully when interpreting gemmho values due to non-standard usage.
-
Use this conversion tool to assist in understanding or comparing older or niche measurements.
Limitations
-
Gemmho is not an officially recognized or standardized SI unit.
-
Large scale conversion factors can cause confusion if unit context is unclear.
-
Use of gemmho is generally discouraged in favor of the SI siemens for accuracy and consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ampere per volt [A/V] represent?
-
Ampere per volt (A/V) is the SI unit of electrical conductance, representing the reciprocal of electrical resistance.
-
Is gemmho a standard unit for conductance?
-
No, gemmho is not a recognized or standardized SI unit but a historical term related to conductance.
-
Why convert ampere per volt to gemmho?
-
Users convert to gemmho to express conductance in a scaled unit often used historically or in legacy documentation.
Key Terminology
-
Ampere per Volt (A/V)
-
The SI unit of electrical conductance, equal to the reciprocal of electrical resistance.
-
Gemmho
-
A non-standard historic term for electric conductance, related to the unit 'mho' and not recognized by SI.
-
Electrical Conductance
-
A measure of how easily electric current flows between two points, reciprocal to electrical resistance.
