noun
- Plural of milliho; units of electrical conductance equal to one thousandth of a siemens (or one thousandth of a mho).
Usage: technical; physics/electrical engineering; The siemens has largely replaced the mho in modern usage, making millimhos less common in contemporary texts.
Examples
- The conductance of the circuit was measured in millimhos.
- A conductivity of 50 millimhos per centimeter indicates moderate ionic strength.
- Engineers converted the old mho readings to millimhos for consistency.
- The sensor's output was calibrated in millimhos.
- Saltwater solutions typically show conductance values in the range of hundreds of millimhos.
