What is the SI unit of electrical conductance named after Siemens?
Siemens
Ohm
Volt
Ampere
Answer
Siemens, the SI unit of electrical conductance, is named after Werner von Siemens, a German engineer and inventor. It measures the ability of a material or component to conduct electricity. A higher conductance value indicates a greater ease of current flow. Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, and one siemens is equal to one ampere of current flowing through a conductor with one volt of potential difference.
