The conductance of a material is a measure of the ability of that material to carry a current.
The transfer of electricity through the conductor results from the movement of charged particles.
Measurement of conductance
Conductivity is the measure of conductance. ,
The conductivity of a material determines the ability to pass a conduction current under the influence of the electric field.
Conductivity,, where E is the applied electric field and J is the conduction current density.
Another form of conductivity is or , where R is the current resistivity, A and l are the cross-sectional area and length of the body. Low resistance materials have a greater current conductivity.
