Question

For the figure shown below, find the value of conductance 'G' (in S).

The correct answer is
0.33

To find the conductance 'G' in Siemens (S), we need to first understand the relationship between current, voltage, and conductance.

Conductance (G) is the reciprocal of resistance (R), and is given by the formula:

G = \frac{1}{R}

Ohm's law states that:

V = I \times R

Where:

  • V is the voltage across the conductor
  • I is the current through the conductor
  • R is the resistance of the conductor

From the figure, we know:

  • Voltage, V = 6 \, \text{V}
  • Current, I = 2 \, \text{A}

We can rearrange Ohm's law to solve for resistance R:

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{6 \, \text{V}}{2 \, \text{A}} = 3 \, \Omega

Now, calculate the conductance G:

G = \frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{3 \, \Omega} = 0.33 \, \text{S}

Therefore, the value of conductance 'G' is 0.33 S.
