Example

The resistance of the circuit was measured in microhms to ensure precision.

Conversation

Did you know a microhm is a millionth of an ohm?

No way, that’s really small!

Yeah, it's crazy how precise measurements can get.

Science is fascinating, especially when you think about those tiny units!

Root Explanation

Microhm → It is formed from "micro-" (from Greek "mikros", meaning small) and "ohm" (from German physicist Georg Simon Ohm, referring to the unit of electrical resistance). The word "microhm" refers to a very small unit of electrical resistance.

Memory Tip

Think of 'micro-' meaning small, and 'ohm' being a unit of resistance. This helps you remember that a microhm is a very small measure of electrical resistance.
