Convert Reciprocal Siemens to Petaohm
Type the number of reciprocal siemens that you wish to convert to petaohms.
How to Convert Reciprocal Siemens to Petaohms
The reciprocal siemens and petaohm are both units of electrical resistance. By definition, 1 petaohm equals exactly 1e15 reciprocal siemens. This means to convert reciprocal siemens to petaohms, you divide by 1e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 1/S to petaohms:
We need to convert reciprocal siemens to petaohms
Since 1 PΩ = 1e15 1/S, divide by 1e15
5 ÷ 1e15 = 5e-15
5 1/S = 5e-15 PΩ

About These Units
Reciprocal Siemens (1/S)
The ohm is the reciprocal of the siemens (S), the unit of conductance. Resistance R = 1/G where G is conductance. A 1 kΩ resistor has conductance of 0.001 S = 1 mS. Siemens was formerly called "mho" (ohm spelled backward). R(Ω) = 1/G(S).
Petaohm (PΩ)
A petaohm (PΩ) equals 10¹⁵ ohms. Theoretical scale for extreme insulators: fused quartz, Teflon, and ultrapure materials approach this range. Surface resistance of clean insulators in vacuum. Measurement at practical limits.
