1 Siemens (S) = 1 Mho (℧)
Understanding Siemens and Mhos
What is a Siemens (S)?
A siemens (S) is the SI unit of electrical conductance. It represents the ability of a material to conduct electric current, defined as one ampere per volt. The unit is named after Ernst Werner von Siemens.
What is a Mho (℧)?
A mho (℧) is an older unit of electrical conductance, exactly equal to one siemens. The term "mho" is "ohm" spelled backward, as conductance is the reciprocal of resistance (measured in ohms).
