+## Conductance
+
+**Conductance** is the reciprocal of [resistance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance).
+
+The SI unit of conductance ($G$)
+is the [siemens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens_(unit)) (S).
+"Mho" (ohm backwards) is an unofficial name and should be avoided.
+
+Like the ohm is also the unit of [reactance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_reactance) ($X$)
+and [impedance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance) ($Z$),
+the siemens is also the unit of [susceptance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_susceptance) ($B$)
+and [admittance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admittance) ($Y$),
+their respective reciprocals.
+
+***
+
+For my purposes,
+conductance is generally a far more practical quantity than resistance,
+owing to that it increases with wire area and cost like ampacity.
