GW Instek LCR-8000G Series - Resistance (R) and Conductance (G = 1;R)

BASIC MEASUREMENT
41
Resistance (R) and Conductance (G = 1/R)
Background
Resistance measures how difficult it is for the
electricity to flow between two terminals.
Conductance is the reciprocal of Resistance and
measures how easily the electricity flows.
