Conductance of a circuit is 2 milliMhos. What is its resistance?
- 5000 Ohms.
- 500 Ohms.
- 5 Megohms.
Explanation from PART66Online
Resistance is the reciprocal of conductance, so R = 1/G. With G = 2 milliMhos = 0.002 siemens, R = 1/0.002 = 500 ohms. The 5000-ohm answer mishandles the milli prefix and 5 megohms is off by orders of magnitude.

Conductance is equal to 1/R (R is Resistance), so R=1/Conductance, that is 1/0,002Mhos=500Ohms
