- Conductivity standard 1413 preparation. Oct 3, 2025 ยท Electrical conductivity is the current or the quantity of electricity passing per second through a similar slab when the potential gradient is unity, and it is the reciprocal of the resistivity. Electrical conductivity is also known as specific conductance. Conductivity is an intrinsic property of a material. It is commonly signified by the Greek letter σ (sigma), but κ (kappa) (especially in electrical engineering) [citation needed] and γ (gamma) [citation needed] are sometimes used. The level of conductivity is inversely related to resistance; as conductivity increases, resistance decreases. Electrical conductivity is typically measured in siemens per meter (S/m). In general, higher conductivity indicates that a material offers less resistance to electron movement. Conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct electric current, which is determined by the movement of charged particles within that material. Conductivity or specific conductance of an electrolyte solution is a measure of its ability to conduct electricity. In chemistry, conductivity is often associated with the presence and mobility of ions in a solution or ionic compound. jymzvu iri0po ybeq emslu nnbi k5rh0 z0 ve cjcat 3ti4
