Question

What are examples of conductivity?

Answer 1

Conductivity

1. Conductivity is the amount of heat that moves through a slab with a unit cross-sectional area per second.
2. Electrical conductivity is the amount of electricity that flows through a comparable slab per second when the potential gradient is unity.

Examples of conductivity

1. Example of heat conductivity: The act of heating a pan on a stove is a typical illustration of conduction. The surface of the pan receives heat directly from the burner. The amount of kinetic energy that the particles in a sample of matter have converted to heat is measured by temperature.
2. Example of electricity conductivity: Your home's wiring carries electricity, enabling lights to turn on when a switch is flipped. Electrical conduction is what powers your computer and all other electric or battery-operated devices and appliances when you turn them on.
