What is another word for reciprocal ohm?

Pronunciation: [ɹɪsˈɪpɹəkə͡l ˈə͡ʊəm] (IPA)

Reciprocal ohm, also known as mho, siemens, or conductance, refers to the measure of electrical conductance. Synonyms for reciprocal ohm include the inverse of resistance, admittance, conductivity, susceptance, and transconductance. The term mho was coined in 1889 by James Clerk Maxwell, who felt that the symbol Ω should be reserved for resistance. The use of these synonyms may vary depending on the field of study, with conductance or siemens being commonly used in electrical engineering, while admittance is used in circuit analysis. Regardless of the terminology, understanding the measure of conductance is important in the analysis and design of electrical circuits.
