Conductance (noun)

1. The ability of a material to conduct electricity or heat.
2. The measure of the flow of electric charge through a conductor, expressed in units of electrical conductance.
3. The extent to which a material or system allows the flow of electricity or heat.

Origin:

From conduct + -ance, from old french conductance, from latin conductus, a leading.

Examples:

1. The conductance of the metal wire was higher than that of the plastic cable.
2. The conductance of the electrolyte solution was measured to determine the concentration of ions in it.
3. The electrical conductance of the material was tested before it was used in the production of electronic components.
4. The heat conductance of the insulation material was improved to reduce the heat loss in the building.
5. The conductance of the battery was affected by the temperature and humidity of the environment.
