Definitions for conductances

noun

1. the conducting power, especially the power to conduct alternating current, of a conductor, equal to the real part of the admittance, and in a circuit with no reactance equal to the reciprocal of the resistance. Symbol: G.

Origin of conductances

First recorded in 1880-85; conduct + -ance

Examples for conductances

As conductance is the reciprocal of resistance it is measured by the reciprocal ohm or mho.

This rule may be understood better if we consider the conductance of the conductors in parallel.

The exact correlative terms are resistance and conductance, resistivity and conductivity.
