WHAT DOES CONDUCTIVITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Conductivity

Conductivity may refer to: ▪ Electrical conductivity, a measure of a material's ability to conduct an electric current ▪ Conductivity, also the specific conductance, is a measurement of the electrical conductance per unit distance in an electrolytic or aqueous solution ▪ Ionic conductivity, a measure of the conductivity through ionic charge carriers ▪ Hydraulic conductivity, a property of a porous material's ability to transmit water ▪ Thermal conductivity, the intensive property of a material that indicates its ability to conduct heat ▪ Rayleigh conductivity, describing the behavior of apertures concerning the flow of a liquid or gas...

Definition of conductivity in the English dictionary

The first definition of conductivity in the dictionary is Also called: conduction. the property of transmitting heat, electricity, or sound. Other definition of conductivity is a measure of the ability of a substance to conduct electricity; the reciprocal of resistivity. Conductivity is also in the case of a solution, the electrolytic conductivity is the current density divided by the electric field strength, measured in siemens per metre Formerly called: specific conductance.
