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.
