Siemens (Unit)The siemens (symbol: S) is an SI derived unit of measurement for electric conductance, being the inverse of the ohm (Ω), named after Werner von Siemens. - S = Siemens
- A = Amperes
- V = Voltage
- The forumla for computing conductance is as follows:
G = 1 / R = S - G = Conductance
- R = Resistance (Ω)
- S = Siemens
Example: G = 1 / 6 Ω = 0.1667 S Mho is a now eccentric name for this unit of electrical conductance, equal to 1 Ω-1. It is derived by spelling ohm backwards. Its symbol is (the upside-down letter Ω). The term siemens is used universally in science and primarily in electrical applications, while mho is used primarily in electronic applications. SI electricity units
