Question 1 of 27070

The ratio of current through a conductor to the voltage which produces it is:

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ohm’s Law and how it relates current, voltage, and resistance • The definitions of resistance, conductance, and inductance in basic electricity • The relationship between a quantity and its ratio or its inverse

💭 Think About

• Write Ohm’s Law using symbols for voltage (E or V), current (I), and resistance (R). From that formula, solve for the ratio of current to voltage and see which quantity it equals. • Think about units: what are the units of resistance (ohms), conductance (siemens or mhos), and inductance (henry). Which one matches the units you get when you divide current by voltage? • Consider which term describes how much a material opposes current, and which one describes how easily it allows current to flow.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which quantity is defined as I / V and which is V / I. • Check the standard units: ohm (Ω), siemens (S or mho), and henry (H), and match them to the ratio in the question. • Make sure you are not mixing up a property related to magnetic fields (inductance) with simple DC circuit relationships.
