die Fähigkeit eines Stoffes, Energie (z.B. Schall, Wärme, Elektrizität) von einem Ort zu einem anderen fortzuleiten. Sie ist bei den einzelnen Stoffen verschieden u. hängt außerdem von der Temperatur ab.
Ability of a material to carry an electrical current, usually given the symbol G. For a direct current, it is the reciprocal of resistance: a conductor of resistance R has a conductance of 1/R. For an alternating current, conductance is the resistance R divided by the impedance Z: G = R/Z. Conductance was formerly expressed in reciprocal ohms (or mhos); the SI unit is the siemens (S).
The measure of the ability of a solution to carry an electrical current. (See Equivalent Conductance)
The quality or power of conducting, or of receiving and transmitting.
