conductance
[ kuhn-duhk-tuhns ]
noun
, Electricity.
- the conducting power, especially the power to conduct alternating current, of a conductor, equal to the real part of the admittance, and in a circuit with no reactance equal to the reciprocal of the resistance. : G
conductance
/ kənˈdʌktəns /
noun
- the ability of a system to conduct electricity, measured by the ratio of the current flowing through the system to the potential difference across it; the reciprocal of resistance. It is measured in reciprocal ohms, mhos, or siemens G
conductance
/ kən-dŭk′təns /
- A measure of the ability of a material to carry electric current. For direct current, conductance is called conductivity and is equal to 1/R, where R is the resistance of the material. For alternating current, conductance is called admittance . Conductance is measured in mhos.
