What Does Micromho Measure?

The micromho is a unit of electrical conductance
electrical conductance
Conductivity (or specific conductance) of an electrolyte solution is a measure of its ability to conduct electricity. The SI unit of conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m).
equal to 1/1,000,000 of a mho, which is the reciprocal of the resistance in ohms. One micromho is equal to one microsiemens. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for 10-6.
What is a Micromho?
: one millionth of a mho.
What do microsiemens measure?
The microsiemens is the SI defined unit equal to the micromho. One microsiemens is the electrical conductance equal to 1/1,000,000 of a siemens, which is equal to one ampere per volt. The microsiemens is a multiple of the siemens, which is the SI derived unit for electrical conductance.
