Understanding Siemens and Millisiemens
The siemens (S) is the SI unit for electrical conductance, named after Werner von Siemens. It measures how easily electrical current flows through a material. One siemens equals the conductance of a conductor with a resistance of one ohm.
A millisiemens (mS) is 1/1000 of a siemens, making it useful for measuring smaller conductance values. This unit is commonly used in electrochemistry and when measuring the conductivity of solutions.
