Medical definitions for conductance

conductance

Scientific definitions for conductance

conductance

[ kən-dŭk′təns ]

A measure of the ability of a material to carry electric current. For direct current, conductance is called conductivity and is equal to 1/R, where R is the resistance of the material. For alternating current, conductance is called admittance. Conductance is measured in mhos. See more at admittance.

See thermal conductance.
