Question

How to measure the conductance?


Open in App
Solution

Conductance

  1. The conductance of a material is a measure of the ability of that material to carry a current.
  2. The transfer of electricity through the conductor results from the movement of charged particles.

Measurement of conductance

  1. Conductivity is the measure of conductance. ,
  2. The conductivity of a material determines the ability to pass a conduction current under the influence of the electric field.
  3. Conductivity,σ=JE, where E is the applied electric field and J is the conduction current density.
  4. Another form of conductivity is σ=lAR or σ1R, 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.
