What's the inverse of conductance?

AI Thread Summary
The inverse of electric conductance, measured in siemens (S), is resistance, which is expressed in ohms (Ω). Conductance and resistance are reciprocals of each other, meaning that if conductance increases, resistance decreases, and vice versa. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding these relationships in electrical experiments. Participants emphasize the simplicity of the concept while encouraging direct research for clarity. Overall, the thread provides a clear explanation of the relationship between conductance and resistance.

I'm doing an experiment today in class and I just wanted to know what's the inverse of conductance (expressed in S) and its units in the SI system.

Thanks for viewing!

Conductance is the inverse of Resistance which is in units of Ohms ( or volts/amps).
 
Yes, I agree. I want to know the inverse of conductance. You know, if conductance was S, I want to know what's the name and units of 1/S.
 
I guess it's the resistance (?)
 
The reciprocal of electric conductance is the resistance, with unit of ohm, (Ω).

Thank you so much, it's easy, but sometimes I tend to complicate stuff!
 
Cut out the middleman and go straight to Google - thence http://linearcircuitry.com/ResistanceAndConductance.html
and many others.
Good luck with your Science.
