![]() | Siemens (S): multiples and submultiples |
![]() | The siemens (symbol: S) is the unit of electric conductance, electric susceptance, and electric admittance in the International System of Units (SI).
Conductance, susceptance, and admittance are the reciprocals of resistance, reactance, and impedance respectively; hence one siemens is redundantly equal to the reciprocal of one ohm (Ω−1) and is also referred to as the mho. For an element conducting direct current, electrical resistance R and electrical conductance G are defined as G = 1/R = 1/V |
