Question

What is the relation between Conductivity and Conductance ?

Open in App
Solution

Conductance is the ease with which electron can flow inside a metal or conductor. It tell about the nature of substance. More is the conductance, better is a conductor. It is just opposite of resistance.V=IRV=VoltageI=CurrentR=Resistance1R=Conductance = GSo, G=IVIn a similar way, conductivity is just opposite of resistivity.Conductivity tells about the ability to conduct electricity.We know, R α lAR=Resistancel=LengthA=Area of cross sectionSo, R=ρlA, ρ=Resistivity1ρ=Conductivity = κSo, κ=lRA=GlAlA is generally called as cell constant (C).So, κ=G×C
