Key Terminology
-
Mho
-
A historical non-SI unit of electrical conductance equal to one siemens, defined as the reciprocal of an ohm.
-
Ampere per Volt [A/V]
-
The SI unit for electrical conductance representing one ampere of current per one volt of potential difference.
-
Electrical Conductance
-
A measure of how easily electric current passes through a component or circuit, the reciprocal of resistance.
