noun
- Plural of micromho; units of electrical conductance equal to one millionth of a mho (siemens).
Usage: technical; physics/electrical engineering; largely replaced by microsiemens in modern usage
Examples
- The conductance of the material was measured in micromhos.
- Early electrical engineers often expressed conductance values in micromhos.
- The device's conductivity was rated at 50 micromhos per centimeter.
- Modern instruments typically display conductance in microsiemens rather than micromhos.
