Conductance is the inverse of resistance. calculated as 1/ohms=mhos



They changed "Mhos" to "Siemens". I wish they hadn't (naming it after
someone, rather than using something actually meaningful).

Hi I want to buy a new Multimeter and there are a few features that
currently I have no idea what they mean. Obviously I currently have no
idea for those features but I wondered if somebody can explain to me
what they are/do so maybe in the future I will need them.
1. Conductance
2. Motor Drive Measurement
3. Smoothing


Hmmm,
Ohm is a name too.

Yes, the point was in not using an ADDITIONAL name.

Now how about admittance?

I don't know about admittance, other than this is the reciprocal of
impedance.
