Key Terminology
-
Kilosiemens [kS]
-
An SI-derived unit of electrical conductance equal to 1000 siemens, used to quantify how easily electric current flows through a component or network.
-
Ampere per volt [A/V]
-
The SI unit equivalent to siemens, representing electrical conductance as the reciprocal of resistance and indicating current flow per unit voltage.
-
Electrical Conductance
-
A measurement of how readily electric current passes through a material or component, inversely related to electrical resistance.
