Ampere per Volt

A/V

Definition

An alternative unit of electric conductance equal to one siemens, representing the ratio of current to voltage. Used in electrical engineering to express conductance in terms of basic electrical quantities.

History/Origin

Derived from Ohm's law, where conductance is the inverse of resistance. The ampere per volt unit directly expresses conductance as the ratio of current to voltage, making it intuitive for electrical calculations.

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering education and calculations where conductance is expressed in terms of current and voltage. Common in circuit analysis and electrical engineering textbooks.

Siemens

Definition

The SI base unit of electric conductance, representing the ease with which electric current flows through a material. One siemens is the conductance of a material that allows one ampere of current to flow when one volt is applied across it.

History/Origin

Named after Ernst Werner von Siemens, the German electrical engineer and inventor who founded the Siemens company. The siemens unit was established as the SI unit of conductance, replacing the older mho unit.

Current Use

Widely used in electrical engineering, electronics, and materials science for measuring the electrical conductivity of conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. Essential for designing electrical circuits and components.
