Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Siemens.
Key Points
- Siemens is the SI unit for measuring electric conductance.
- Siemens per unit is the unit of electrical conductivity.
- Mho is also known as siemens.
- The reciprocal of ohm is siemens.
- The reciprocal of resistance is siemens.
- In the 14th general conference on weights and measures, the unit of conductance known as siemens was adopted.
- The unit was named after Earner won Siemens.
- The ratio of current density to the electric field strength gives the value of electrical conductivity.
- If the conductivity of a substance is higher, then the resistance of that substance will be lower and the flow of electric current will be smoother.
- The ability of electrons or charge carriers decides the value of electrical conductivity.
Additional Information
- Henry is the SI-derived unit of electrical inductance.
- Farad is the SI-derived unit of electrical capacitance.
- Tesla is a unit of the magnetic induction.
