Conductances

/kənˈdʌktənsɪz/ noun (plural)

Definition

Plural form of conductance; multiple measures or instances of how easily electric current flows through different materials.

Etymology

From 'conductance' plus the regular plural suffix '-es,' used in English when words end in sibilant sounds. The plural allows discussion of multiple electrical properties in scientific contexts.

Kelly Says

In circuit design, engineers combine different 'conductances' just like adding strengths together—put two conductive paths in parallel and you add their conductances, making electricity flow even more easily through your circuit.
