Picosiemens
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004295
A unit of electrical conductance in the International System of Units (SI), representing one trillionth (10^-12) of a siemens. This measurement indicates how easily an electric current flows through a material or device. It is often used in sensitive electrical measurements, such as characterizing the leakage current in insulators or the conductance of biological membranes.
