Electrical conductivity is the measure of a material accommodates the transport of electric charge. Its SI derived unit is the siemens per metre, (A2s3m−3kg−1) (named after Werner von Siemens) or, more simply, Sm−1. It is the ratio of the current density to the electric field strength or, in more practical terms, is equivalent to the electrical conductance measured between opposite faces of a 1-metre cube of the material under test

∙ 12y agoElectrical conductance is the reciprocal of electrical resistance. From Ohm's law the resistance is defined as the ratio of the potential difference to the current produced by it in the conductor.resistance =potential difference /current.conductance = current / potential difference.
Conductance of a material gives an idea of how easily it will conduct current.
Silver has more conductance than aluminum or iron. Silver will have more current than aluminum or iron when connected to the same electric cell.

What does Siemens measure?
Siemens measures electrical conductance. It is the dimensional reciprocal of Ohms. So if you measured resistance at 0.002 Ohms, the equivalent conductance is 500 Siemens. Note, this unit has been called mhos (Ohm spelled backward) as well. The symbol is an upside down greek upper-case omega character (just like Ohm uses a greek omega).
Electrical current will pass easily through?
Copper, metal, aluminum.AnswerI think the answer you are probably looking for is a conductor. Practical conductors are usually metal, although non-metals, such as carbon, are also commonly used. Liquid conductors are called 'electrolytes'. The best metallic conductor is silver, followed very closely by copper. In practise, copper is likely the most common metal conductor but, as copper is relatively expensive, aluminium is widely used for transmission and distribution lines.
Why does SO electrical cord have paper inside it?
why is there string or paper in electrical cords
What is Electrical Force?
Electrical force is the first derivative of electrical energy, F= dW/dr = dqV/dr = qE.
Describe the three types of small particles within an atom and explain how they are arranged?
Protons have a single unit of positive electrical charge (+) Electrons have a single unit of negative electrical charge (-) Neutrons have no electrical charge
What is the use of conductance?
When referring to electrical conductance, it is used in the application of electricity to equipment. Electrical conductance measures the equipment's ability to conduct electrical charge. A practical application would be to decrease the resistance in an electrical circuit so that the conductance is higher and electricity flows more smoothly.
The si unit of conductance is?
The unit of electrical conductance is the mho.
What is electrical onductance measured in?
Electrical conductance is the reciprocal of resistance and is measured in siemens (symbol: S).
What is the definition of abmhos?
The definition of an Abmhos (Abmho) a unit of electrical conductance
Mho means what?
MHO is a formerly used unit which was used to measure electrical conductance.
What instrument measures relative humidity using the electrical conductance of the chemical lithium chloride?
Hygrometer
What is the effect of temperature on conductance?
If you're talking about electrical conductance of a wire, I think increased temp means decreased conductance. Because the metal atoms vibrate faster with increased temp, so the electrons collide with the atoms more frequently, therefore find it more difficult to get through the wire
Free electrons are in gold?
Yes many and as in other metal they form the electron cloud which enhances the electrical and heat conductance
What is the medical term meaning electrical changes in the heart muscles?
There is no single term but a good sentance would be "cardiac conductance disorder"
What is the opposite of resistance?
The opposite of resistance (opposition) could be cooperation, or acquiescence, or surrender. The opposite of resistance (electrical) could be conductance.
Is Cool boxes an insulator or conductor?
Cold boxes are thermal insulators, however with regard to electrical conductance, that depends on what they box is made of.
What property of a heart muscle must be altered in order for an electrocardiogram to detect a problem?
The changes in electrical conductance is needed for the EKG to detect a problem.
