Consort [Units of Conductivity]
Line 9: Line 9:
 The basic unit of resistance is the familiar ohm (). Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, and its basic unit is the siemens (S). In discussions of bulk material, it is convenient to talk of its specific conductance, now commonly called its conductivity. This is the conductance as measured between the opposite faces of a 1 cm cube of the material. This measurement has units of S/cm. The units S/cm and mS/cm are most commonly used to describe the conductivity of aqueous solutions. The corresponding terms for specific resistance (or resistivity) are .cm, M.cm and k.cm. The basic unit of resistance is the familiar ohm ().
