= Units of electrical conductance
{wiki=Category:Units_of_electrical_conductance}
The unit of electrical conductance is the siemens (S). It is defined as the reciprocal of electrical resistance, which is measured in ohms (Ω). Therefore, 1 siemens is equivalent to 1/ohm or \\( S = \\frac\{1\}\{\\Omega\} \\). Additionally, in other contexts, conductance can also be expressed in terms of mhos (℧), which is simply ohms spelled backward, although this terminology is less commonly used today.
