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

How to Convert Reciprocal Siemens to Ohms

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

Formula

ohms = reciprocal siemens × 1

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 1/S to ohms:

1
Convert 5 1/S to ohms

We need to convert reciprocal siemens to ohms

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 1/S = 1 Ω, multiply by 1

5 × 1 = 5

Answer

5 1/S = 5 Ω

About These Units

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).

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.
