Convert Ohm to Reciprocal Siemens

Input the number of ohms you want to convert to reciprocal siemens.

1 Ω (ohms) = 1 1/S (reciprocal siemens)

How to Convert Ohms to Reciprocal Siemens

The ohm and reciprocal siemens are both units of electrical resistance. By definition, 1 ohm equals exactly 1 reciprocal siemens. This means to convert ohms to reciprocal siemens, you multiply by 1.

Formula

reciprocal siemens = ohms × 1

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 Ω to reciprocal siemens:

1
Convert 5 Ω to reciprocal siemens

We need to convert ohms to reciprocal siemens

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 Ω = 1 1/S, multiply by 1

5 × 1 = 5

Answer

5 Ω = 5 1/S

About These Units

Ohm (Ω)

The ohm (Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance. Named after Georg Simon Ohm. Defined by Ohm's Law: R = V/I (resistance = voltage ÷ current). Common resistor values: 10Ω to 10MΩ. Human body resistance: 1,000-100,000Ω depending on conditions.

Reciprocal Siemens (1/S)

The ohm is the reciprocal of the siemens (S), the unit of conductance. Resistance R = 1/G where G is conductance. A 1 kΩ resistor has conductance of 0.001 S = 1 mS. Siemens was formerly called "mho" (ohm spelled backward). R(Ω) = 1/G(S).
