Definitions of conductance word
- noun conductance 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 3
- noun conductance the ability of a component to conduct electricity, measured in siemens and equal to the ratio of the current to the voltage: it is the reciprocal of resistance: symbol, G 3
- noun conductance Conductance is a measure of how easy it is for a particular voltage to force a current through a resistor. 3
- noun conductance 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. Symbol: G. 1
- noun conductance (physics) A measure of the ability of a body to conduct electricity; the reciprocal of its resistance. 1
