Resistance (R) and Conductance (G = 1/R) Formula 

 

Background 

Resistance measures how difficult it is for the 
electricity to flow between two terminals. 
Conductance is the reciprocal of Resistance and 
measures how easily the electricity flows.  

 

Note 

Conductance is only shown for its relation to 
Resistance, Conductance is not a measurable feature of 
the LCR-800 series.
