Electrical conductance measures how easily electricity flows along a certain path through an electrical element. The SI derived unit of conductance is the siemens. Because it is the reciprocal of electrical resistance (measured in ohms), historically, this unit was referred to as the mho. Oliver Heaviside coined the term conductivity in September 1885. Conductance is reciprocal to resistance. If R is the resistance of a component or device (in ohms), then the conductance G (in siemens) is given by: G = 1/R More Study: View Me
