Question

Define Resistance. Give its unit and conductance.

Answer 1

The resistance of a conductor can be defined as the ratio between the potential difference across the ends of the conductor and the current flowing through it. Conductance: It is defined as the reciprocal of its resistance (R). Hence, the conductance ‘G’ of a conductor is given by

G = \(\frac{1}{R}\)

Its unit is ohm^-1 . It is also represented as ‘mho’
