Question
What do you understand by the term 'conductance'? What are its units?

Answer

The reciprocal of electrical resistance is called conductance. It is usually represented by 'G'.
Thus $G=\frac{1}{R}$
Units: The units of conductance are reciprocal ohms written as
ohm ${ }^{-1}$ or mho
or siemens (S)
$
1 S=1 \Omega^{-1}
