noun
- A unit of electrical conductance equal to one millionth of a mho, or one siemens.
Usage: technical; electronics; largely superseded by the siemens unit in modern usage
Examples
- The conductance of the resistor was measured in micromhos.
- Early semiconductor devices were characterized using micromho measurements.
- The circuit's conductance increased by several micromhos when the temperature rose.
- Engineers in the 1960s commonly used micromhos to specify component performance.
