Conductance and Siemens

Conductance (GG) is the ability of a material to carry electricity, is measured in Siemens (SS), and defined indirectly by Ohm's Law as current (II) over voltage, or G=I/VG = I/V. 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.
