conductivity 1. the property of transmitting heat, electricity, or sound 2. a. a measure of the ability of a substance to conduct electricity; the reciprocal of resistivity b. in the case of a solution, the electrolytic conductivity is the current density divided by the electric field strength, measured in siemens per metre 3. See thermal conductivity conductivity [‚kän‚dək′tiv·əd·ē] (electricity) The ratio of the electric current density to the electric field in a material. Also known as electrical conductivity; specific conductance. (geology) How to thank TFD for its existence?

| Electrical conductivity is achieved with metal coated fillers. New Series 700 and 800 compounds reportedly allow for much better control and reproducibility of conductivity than does carbon black alone. In contrast, tests of 40-nm wires made of tin, of 70-nm zinc wires, and 40-nm zinc wires sandwiched between lead electrodes, found that the usual conductivity rules prevailed. |
