Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the Siemens unit used for?
-
Siemens is the SI derived unit of electrical conductance, indicating how easily electric current flows between two points; it is the reciprocal of resistance.
-
Why convert from Siemens to Abmho?
-
Conversion is useful for translating modern SI-based conductance measures to the historical Abmho unit used in older CGS-EMU electromagnetic theories and literature.
-
Is Abmho commonly used today?
-
No, Abmho is mainly a historical unit rarely used in contemporary engineering and is mostly relevant for academic and theoretical contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Siemens [S]
-
The SI derived unit of electrical conductance, representing how easily electric current passes; reciprocal of resistance.
-
Abmho
-
The CGS-EMU system unit of electrical conductance, reciprocal of the abohm, used historically in electromagnetic theory.
-
Electrical Conductance
-
A measure of how readily electric current flows through a material, expressed in units like Siemens or Abmho.
