What is the unit "siemens" used to measure?
Electrical conductance
Voltage
Current
Resistance
Answer
Electrical conductance, measured in siemens (S), quantifies the ease with which an electrical current flows through a material. A high conductance value indicates low resistance, allowing current to pass easily, while a low conductance value indicates high resistance, hindering current flow. Conductance is the inverse of resistance, meaning that a material with high resistance will have low conductance, and vice versa.
