(Electrical engineering: General)
A siemens is a unit of electric conductance equal to the conductance between two points ofa conductor having a resistance of 1 watt.
A dielectric is a nonconductor of electricity, especially a substance with electricalconductivity of less than a millionth of a siemens.
The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm, and its reciprocal quantity is electricalconductance measured in siemens.
