Conductance and Siemens
Conductance () is the ability of a material to carry electricity, is measured in Siemens (), and defined indirectly by Ohm's Law as current () over voltage, or . The inverse of conductance is resistance.
Conductors are materials that carry electricity well, and thus have a high conductance (and thus a low resistance) value.
