Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the relationship between mho and micromho?
-
One mho equals one million micromhos. This conversion reflects that micromho is a much smaller unit of electrical conductance.
-
Why would I convert from mho to micromho?
-
Converting to micromho allows for expressing very low electrical conductance values, which is important in applications like water testing and insulation monitoring.
-
Is micromho still commonly used?
-
Micromho is considered an older, non-SI unit. While it remains in use for specific purposes, some contexts prefer SI units like siemens.
Key Terminology
-
Mho
-
A historical electrical conductance unit equal to one siemens, representing the reciprocal of an ohm.
-
Micromho
-
A non-SI unit of electrical conductance equal to one millionth of a mho, used for measuring very low conductance.
