Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the relationship between ampere/volt and siemens?
-
Ampere per volt and siemens are equivalent units for electrical conductance, with 1 A/V exactly equal to 1 S.
-
In what fields is converting A/V to S useful?
-
It is useful in electrical engineering, electronics design, electrochemistry, sensor technology, and materials science.
-
Does converting ampere/volt to siemens affect measurement values?
-
No, since both units measure the same physical property, the numerical value remains unchanged.
Key Terminology
-
Ampere per volt [A/V]
-
An SI unit of electrical conductance equal to one ampere of current per volt of applied potential; dimensionally reciprocal ohm (Ω⁻¹).
-
Siemens [S]
-
The SI derived unit of electrical conductance representing how easily electric current flows; equals the reciprocal of resistance (1 S = 1 Ω⁻¹).
-
Electrical conductance
-
A measure of how readily electric current passes through a component or material, reciprocal to electrical resistance.
