Electric Conductance Converter
Convert electrical conductance (the inverse of resistance) between siemens, mhos, abmhos, statmhos and other equivalent units.

Quick answer
Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, measured in siemens: one ampere per volt. One millisiemens is 0.001 S. The mho, which is ohm spelled backwards, is the same unit under an older name, which is why the two convert exactly one to one.
| Siemens (S) | 1 |
| Millisiemens (mS) | 1000 |
| Microsiemens (µS) | 1000000 |
| Mho (℧) | 1 |
About the Electric Conductance Converter
Electrical conductance is the ease with which current flows through a component, the inverse of resistance. The SI unit is the siemens.
It is used in circuit analysis as a convenient alternative to resistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is conductance?
⌄
Conductance measures how easily current flows through a component. It is the reciprocal of resistance.
What is a siemens?
⌄
The siemens is the SI unit of conductance; one siemens equals one ampere per volt, the inverse of one ohm.
What is a mho?
⌄
The mho is an older name for the siemens: "ohm" spelled backwards.
