Actually the question was about micro"mho"s and megaohms. If a mho is an
inverse ohm,
then a micromho should be the equivalent of a megaohm it seems. I always
call inverse ohms siemens, so maybe I'm way off here - any E.E.s have a
better answer? Is a mho = 1 / ohm?

Micro means one millionth or 1E-6 whereas meg means one million or 1E6.

So one microohm is 1E-12 megohms.

And one megohm is 1E12 microohms.

Note that E represents the exponent of 10.

Can anyone tell me how to convert micromhos to megohms. I was told that 1
micromho represent 1 megohm but according to the myron L EP meter that is
being
used, the it doesn't seem to be 1 to 1.
