Understanding Electric Conductance
Electric conductance (G) is a measure of how easily electricity flows along a certain path through an electrical element. It is the reciprocal of electrical resistance (R).
Formula: Conductance (G) = 1 / Resistance (R)
The SI unit of electric conductance is the Siemens (S), which is equivalent to one reciprocal Ohm (Ω-1). The unit “mho” (ohm spelled backwards) is an older, equivalent term for Siemens.
