Siemens (unit) plural. For a conducting element, electrical resistance "R" and electrical conductance "G" are defined as where "I" is the electric current through the object and "V" is the voltage (electrical potential difference) across the object. The unit siemens for the conductance "G" is defined by where Ω is the ohm, A is the ampere, and V is the volt. For a device with a conductance of one siemens, the electric current through the device will increase by one ampere for every increase of one volt of electric potential difference across the device. The conductance of a resistor with a resistance
Inductance to the lower voltage end. The energy from the external circuit required to overcome this "potential hill" is being stored in the increased magnetic field around the conductor. Therefore, any inductance with a current through it stores energy in its magnetic field. At any given time formula_21 the power formula_22 flowing into the magnetic field, which is equal to the rate of change of the stored energy formula_23, is the product of the current formula_3 and voltage formula_20 across the conductor From (1) above When there is no current, there is no magnetic field and the stored energy is zero.
