What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms electrical conductance values measured in statmho, the cgs electrostatic system unit, into ampere per volt (A/V), the SI unit commonly expressed as siemens. It helps users accurately switch between legacy cgs measurements and modern SI conductance units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the electrical conductance value in statmho.
-
Choose statmho as the source unit and ampere per volt [A/V] as the target unit.
-
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent value in ampere per volt.
-
Use the converted SI value for contemporary applications and analysis.

Examples
-
5 statmho converts to approximately 5.5617352614e-12 ampere per volt [A/V].
-
0.1 statmho converts to approximately 1.11234705228e-13 ampere per volt [A/V].
Common Use Cases
-
Translating conductance values found in historical cgs-based electromagnetic literature.
-
Performing theoretical calculations in specialized physics disciplines using cgs units.
-
Comparing legacy measurements with modern SI units in electrical engineering and electrochemistry.
-
Expressing conductance of passive components and characterizing device parameters in SI.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the unit system context before converting to avoid confusion between cgs and SI units.
-
Use this tool when dealing with specialized or legacy data that requires SI compatibility.
-
Handle very small conductance values carefully due to the small magnitude of the conversion factor.
-
Verify converted results especially when precision is critical for research or engineering purposes.
Limitations
-
Statmho is rarely used in practical modern circuits, so conversion is mostly relevant for historical or theoretical data.
-
Conversion involves very small numerical values, demanding attention to precision and numerical handling.
-
Differences in unit conventions may cause misunderstandings without careful contextual verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a statmho?
-
The statmho is a cgs electrostatic unit of electrical conductance, defined as the conductance allowing one statampere at one statvolt.
-
Why convert statmho to ampere per volt [A/V]?
-
Converting helps translate historical or theoretical cgs conductance values into the SI system, which is standard in modern electrical engineering and electrochemistry.
-
Is the conversion factor constant?
-
Yes, the conversion uses a defined rate where 1 statmho equals approximately 1.1123470522803e-12 ampere per volt.
Key Terminology
-
Statmho
-
A cgs system unit of electrical conductance, equal to the reciprocal of the statohm, used in electrostatic unit measurement.
-
Ampere per volt [A/V]
-
The SI unit of electrical conductance, commonly known as siemens, indicating one ampere of current per volt applied potential.
-
Electrical conductance
-
A measure of how easily electric current flows through a material, the reciprocal of electrical resistance.
