Electric Conductance Converter

Electric conductance is the reciprocal of resistance — how easily current flows. The SI unit is the siemens, formerly called the mho. Water-quality meters report conductivity in microsiemens per centimeter, and semiconductor datasheets quote transconductance in millisiemens.

Multiply the number of siemens by 1000 to get millisiemens. How this is calculated

About electric conductance conversion

Electric Conductance conversion is commonly needed when water-quality testing, semiconductor datasheets, and circuit analysis. The mho is the same size as the siemens; only the name changed.
