About This Tool

This Electric Conductance Converter is a tool for electronics and circuit analysis. It converts units of electrical conductance, which is the reciprocal of electrical resistance. It is a measure of how easily electricity flows through an object. The base unit is the siemens (S).

While resistance measures opposition to current, conductance measures the 'easiness' of flow. A high conductance means a low resistance, and vice-versa.

Tips & Features

  • The Siemens (S): The siemens is the SI unit of electrical conductance. It is the reciprocal of the ohm (1 S = 1/Ω).
  • Mho (℧): The mho is the historical name for the same unit. 'Mho' is 'ohm' spelled backwards, and its symbol (℧) is an upside-down omega. While siemens is the official SI name, 'mho' is still used colloquially.
  • Relationship: Conductance (G) is the reciprocal of resistance (R), so G = 1/R. It is also the ratio of current (I) to voltage (V), G = I/V.
