conductance
Inverse of resistance
Conductance is the ability of a material or object to conduct electricity, the inverse of resistance.
Higher conductance means current flows more easily.
The term applies to heat transfer as well: thermal conductance.
In physiology, conductance describes how readily ions pass through cell membranes.
