Unit
Name mho
Category Electrical Conductance
Details The unit "℧" (mho) in the field of electrical conductance represents "siemens," which is the SI unit of electrical conductance. It measures the ability of a material to conduct an electric current. The term "mho" is derived from reversing the spelling of "ohm," which is the unit of electrical resistance (Ohm's Law). Therefore, mho represents the inverse of ohm, since conductance is the reciprocal of resistance. One mho (℧) is equal to one siemens (S), so 1 ℧ = 1 S.
