Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ampere per volt [A/V] represent?
-
Ampere per volt (A/V) is the SI unit of electrical conductance, indicating how much current flows per unit voltage applied.
-
How is millisiemens [mS] related to siemens [S]?
-
One millisiemens equals one thousandth of a siemens, representing smaller electrical conductance values.
-
Why convert from A/V to mS?
-
Converting to millisiemens helps express small conductance values more conveniently in electronics, sensors, and water-quality monitoring.
Key Terminology
