Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Conductance**: - Conductance is defined as the reciprocal of resistance. If \( R \) is the resistance of a conductor, then the conductance \( G \) is given by the formula: \[ G = \frac{1}{R} \] - The unit of conductance is denoted by \( G \), and its SI unit is Ohm inverse (Ω⁻¹). ...
