Question

The property of a conductor due to which it passes current is called
1. Resistance
2. Reluctance
3. Conductance
4. Inductance

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Conductance

Conductance:

• Conductance is a property of a conductor that allows the flow of current through it
• Conductance is the degree to which an object conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current which flows to the potential difference present.
• This is the reciprocal of the resistance and is measured in siemens or mhos.

• Resistance is a property of a conductor that opposes the flow of current through it.
• Reluctance is a property of a conductor that opposes the passage of magnetic flux lines through it.
• Permeance is a property of a conductor that allows the passage of magnetic flux lines through it.
• Inductance is the property of a coil that opposes the change in the flow of current through the coil.
