🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between conductance (G), current (I), and voltage (V) in DC circuits • How Ohm’s Law (V = I × R) relates resistance (R) and then conductance (G = 1/R) • Unit conversions: Siemens (mho) as the unit of conductance

💭 Think About

• First, use the given voltage and current to find the resistance of the circuit using Ohm’s Law. What is R if V and I are known? • Once you have resistance, how do you convert resistance (in ohms) to conductance (in Siemens or mhos)? • After finding G, compare your numerical value carefully with the answer choices, watching for decimal-place differences.

✅ Before You Answer

• Double-check your calculation of resistance R from V and I before inverting it • Remember that conductance G is the reciprocal of resistance: G = 1/R • Verify that your final G value is expressed in Siemens (mhos) and matches one of the options exactly
