Conductance to Resistance Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the resistance from a given conductance and vice versa. 

R = \frac{1}{G}

Variables:

  • R is the resistance in ohms (Ω)
  • G is the conductance in siemens (S)

To calculate the resistance, take the reciprocal of the conductance. Similarly, to calculate the conductance, take the reciprocal of the resistance.

What is Conductance?

Conductance is a measure of how easily electricity flows through a material. It is the reciprocal of resistance and is measured in siemens (S). A higher conductance indicates that the material allows electricity to flow more easily, while a lower conductance indicates that the material resists the flow of electricity. Conductance is an important property in electrical engineering and physics, as it helps to determine the efficiency and performance of electrical circuits and components.

How to Calculate Conductance to Resistance?

The following steps outline how to calculate the resistance from conductance and vice versa.

  1. First, determine the conductance (G) in siemens.
  2. Next, calculate the resistance using the formula ( R = frac{1}{G} ).
  3. If you have the resistance (R) instead, calculate the conductance using the formula ( G = frac{1}{R} ).
  4. Finally, check your answer with the calculator above.
