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
Current source the load resistance approaches zero (a short circuit). Such a theoretical device would have a zero ohm output impedance in series with the source. A real-world voltage source has a very low, but non-zero output impedance: often much less than 1 ohm. Conversely, a current source provides a constant current, as long as the load connected to the source terminals has sufficiently low impedance. An ideal current source would provide no energy to a short circuit and approach infinite energy and voltage as the load resistance approaches infinity (an open circuit). An "ideal" current source has an infinite output impedance
