throuogh one electrode we introduce a constant 1.5 volts, through a second electrode we wish to measure changes in voltage and convert to microsiemens* *one million ohms = one microsiemen |

Siemens is unit of electrical conductance, also called Mho Ohm is unit of electrical resistance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm Resistance and Conductance are two related but different quantities, this is not a simple unit conversion. ohm ? = 1/S = kg m2 / (C2) is unit of Resistance, Impedance, Reactance siemens S = 1/? = C2 / (kg m2) is unit of Conductance, Admittance, Susceptance http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Siemens_(unit) Example If you measured skin resistance to be two MegaOhms Then skin condutance is .5 micro Siemens as one microsiemen is 1/ million ohms and Conductance C = 1/ R It is also important not to confuse conductivity and conductance Conductivity or specific conductance is the measure of the material's ability to conduct an electric current http://www.gvsu.edu/wri/education/manual/conductivity.htm |
