Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from megasiemens to statmho?
-
Users convert to translate SI-based conductance values into the cgs system for historical data comparisons or specialized physics calculations.
-
Is statmho commonly used today?
-
Statmho is rarely used outside certain theoretical or historical contexts like plasma physics or astrophysics.
-
What should I be careful about when converting large conductance values?
-
Large numeric values in conversions can cause rounding errors, so careful handling and verification of results are advised.
Key Terminology
-
Megasiemens [MS]
-
An SI-derived unit of electric conductance equal to one million siemens (S), used for quantifying very high conductance.
-
Statmho
-
A cgs electrostatic system unit of electrical conductance, defined as the reciprocal of the statohm, used in historical and theoretical physics contexts.
-
Conductance
-
The reciprocal of electrical resistance; a measure of how easily electric current flows through a component or network.
