Understanding Electric Conductivity
Electric conductivity (σ or κ) is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity. It quantifies how well a material conducts electric current. A high conductivity indicates a material that allows electric current to flow easily.
The SI unit for electric conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m).
