How do I put my results into the equation: G=I/V ? The current for gatorade was 43.0, read on an ammeter set at DCA 200m. I used a 9 volt battery.
Thanks

Hi,
In this equation, you will be solving for G, which is the conductance (measured in siemens).
I is the current, which would be the amount you read on the ammeter, converted into amperes. To convert from microamps to amps, you will divide your result by 1,000,000. To convert from milliamps to amps, you will divide your result by 1,000.
V is the voltage, which would be 9, since you used a 9 volt battery.
If you need any more help, post here again. It might also be worthwhile to look at the information we have on our website in case you may have overlooked anything.
