Apr 29, 2020 at 14:19 comment added Rajdeep Sindhu I didn't get a bit offended. I was just making it clear :). Also, please check out my comment on the original post about magnitudes having units.
Apr 29, 2020 at 14:17 comment added BioPhysicist @Rajdeep_Sindhu Yeah sorry I wasn't trying to say you were. I was just speaking in general from my experience in tutoring.
Apr 29, 2020 at 14:13 comment added Rajdeep Sindhu And as I said, I know my arguments were stupid and childish. Also, I'm no beginner to algebra too. :)
Apr 29, 2020 at 14:11 comment added BioPhysicist @Rajdeep_Sindhu Proper fractions aren't inconvenient either :)

Apr 29, 2020 at 14:08 comment added Rajdeep Sindhu Thanks! I just realized how stupid my arguments were. And by the way, when I said fractions, I was actually referring to proper fractions ($0 < x < 1$ or $\dfrac{p}{q}$, where $p < q$)
Apr 29, 2020 at 14:04 comment added BioPhysicist @Rajdeep_Sindhu The larger the Resistance for a given voltage, the smaller the current. Hence "resistance" resists current. A larger conductance (smaller resistance) means you can conduct more current. I think that makes a lot of sense.

Apr 29, 2020 at 14:02 comment added Rajdeep Sindhu Let's say that you are George Ohm, and you notice a relationship between current and voltage. How would you decide which constant to call resistance and which one to call conductance? This is probably a silly question
