Abmho Converters

Convert abmhos to siemens, mhos, millisiemens, microsiemens and other conductance units.

What this tool does

Convert abmhos to siemens, mhos, millisiemens, microsiemens and other conductance units. Type an amount in abmhos (EMU of conductance), choose the units, and the tool converts it to siemens. It offers 15 electrical conductance units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one from 15 options, including Gigasiemens, Megasiemens, Kilosiemens, Siemens, Millisiemens, Microsiemens. Starts as Abmho (EMU of conductance).
  • To: Choose one of the same 15 units as "From". Starts as Siemens.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from abmhos (EMU of conductance) to siemens:

  • 1 ab℧ = 1,000,000,000 S
  • 5 ab℧ = 5,000,000,000 S
  • 10 ab℧ = 10,000,000,000 S
  • 50 ab℧ = 50,000,000,000 S
  • 100 ab℧ = 100,000,000,000 S

Multiply the number of abmhos (EMU of conductance) by 1,000,000,000 to get siemens. Both units are exact definitions, so 1,000,000,000 is the exact factor: 1 ab℧ = 1,000,000,000 S.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a conductance only. It does not work out conductance from resistance, current or voltage.
  • Abmho and statmho are historical CGS units, listed for completeness.

FAQs

Q: How many siemens is one abmho?
A: One abmho is exactly 1,000,000,000 siemens (10⁹ S). It is the electromagnetic CGS unit of conductance.
Q: What is a statmho?
A: The statmho is the electrostatic CGS unit of conductance. One statmho is about 1.11265 × 10⁻¹² siemens.
Q: Can I convert the other way, from siemens to abmhos?
A: Yes. Choose siemens in the From box and abmho in the To box.
Q: Does this show resistance in ohms?
A: No. This page converts between conductance units. Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, so to get ohms from abmhos divide 1 by the conductance in siemens.
