Conductance MCQs
According to Ohm’s law, the potential difference across ends of conductor is directly proportional to the current through the it if its physical conditions are same. Then we can write,
V α I → V = IR
Here ‘R’ is constant known as resistance.
The reciprocal of resistance is known as Conductance.
Hence the formula for conductance can be given as,
C= 1/R
As per the formula, we get the SI unit of conductance is 1/Ω or mho or Siemens.
Conductance of material depends upon the number of valance electrons present in a atom of material, nature of material, temperature etc.
Conductance of material decreases with temperature as its resistance rises due to rise in temperature.
The reciprocal of resistivity is known as conductivity. The formula for the conductivity is given as,
SI unit of conductivity is Siemen/meter.
