I used an ohmmeter on the 200 ohms setting. How would i change the following readings to conductivity since an ohmmeter measures resistance. The readings are .3, .4, .5, .6, .7, .8,.9,.10,.11.


Please tell me what the appropriate conductivity readings are after converting it from resistance. Can you also include what the units will be. THanks. i really appreciate it.

Resistance, R, is converted to conductance, G, by inversion.
G = 1/R. The unit was called mho (ohm spelled backwards) when I went to school. But the unit name was changed to Siemens (the symbol is S) when the SI unit changes were made.

So just take all your readings and do a 1/x calculation with your calculator. And put an S after each result for the unit.

Incidentally, ohmmeters are not very accurate with measurements of such low resistance. The test leads probably have resistance of something like .3 ohms.

Mentally ill folks really often get the short sheets, so to speak... but before the law, it gets worked out by evidence, same as always. Having been in a hospital once will not help one get away with a murder... but it will make an accuser lose credibility... life is rarely fair...
