Why is 1 mho/m equal to 1e-11 abmho/cm?

Because abmho per centimeter is a CGS-EMU unit equivalent to 10¹¹ siemens per meter, the conversion uses this extremely small factor to translate between SI and CGS-EMU units.

In what fields are these conductivity conversions used?

They are used in materials science, electrical engineering, oceanography, environmental monitoring, and chemical laboratories.

Are abmho/cm units still common in practice?

No, abmho/centimeter units belong to the largely deprecated CGS-EMU system but remain useful for historical literature and theoretical electromagnetic problems.
