Resistance:
Resistance

(R)

can be defined as the measure of opposition to the flow of current through a circuit.According to Ohm's law, “The current

(I)

Potential and flow in a circuit

(V)

across it, given all physical conditions and temperature remains same.” So,

V \propto I

. As a result, resistance, a proportionality constant, is introduced.

V = I R

.Thus, the formula for resistance can also be given as

R = \frac{V}{I}

R

is constant for a given metallic wire, if the temperature remains constant.Its SI unit is ohms

(Ω)

.Conductance:
Conductance

(C)

may be characterized as a measurement of how easily current flows across a circuit. Resistance's inverse is conductance.

C = \frac{1}{R}

.Its SI unit is seimens

(S)

, as well as mho. Thus, conductance is the opposite of resistance.
