Information About

Electrical Conductance




Electrical Conductance should not be confused with Conduction , which is the mechanism by which charge Flows , or with Conductivity , which is a property of a material.


RELATION TO OTHER QUANTITIES

As mentioned, conductance is related to resistance by:
:G = rac{1}{R} = rac{I}{V} \,
for purely resistive circuits

where:
G

R

I

V


(Note: this is not true where the impedance is complex)

Furthermore, conductance is related to Susceptance and Admittance by the equation:

:Y = G + j B \,

or

:G = Re(Y) \,

where:
Y

:j is the Imaginary Unit ,
B
