Question

Provide a comparison between the following:

Resistance and conductance

Answer 1

Sr. No.	Resistance	Conductance
1.	It is the property of a conductor due to which it opposes or obstructs the flow of electric current through it.	It is the property of a conductor due to which it allows or permits the flow of electric current through it.
2.	It is mathematically calculated using Ohm's Law as the ratio of potential difference to the electric current (\(R = \frac{V}{I}\)).	It is mathematically defined as the structural reciprocal of electrical resistance (\(G = \frac{1}{R}\)).
3.	Its standard SI unit is ohm, which is represented by the Greek symbol omega (Ω).	Its standard SI unit is ohm−1, which is also commonly called mho or siemens (Ω−1 or S).
