Scientific Overview
Electric conductance is the measure of a material's ability to allow the flow of electric current. It is the reciprocal of resistance and is measured in siemens (S). Higher conductance indicates better conductivity.
Historical Background
The concept of conductance emerged as the inverse of resistance in electrical theory. Werner von Siemens contributed significantly to electrical engineering, and the unit siemens is named after him.
