mho

Inverse resistance measure

Mho is a unit of electrical conductance—the reciprocal of the ohm, which measures resistance.

The name is simply "ohm" spelled backward.

The unit has been largely replaced by the siemens in scientific contexts, but mho still appears in older technical literature and some engineering applications.
