Resistance (R) and Conductance (G)
The resistance is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric
current through that conductor. The SI unit of resistance is the
“ohm” (Ω). The inverse quantity is electrical conductance, and this
is the ease with which an electric current passes through a circuit.
The SI unit of conductance is measured in Siemens (S) and it the
reciprocal of the resistance (G=1/R).
