Conductivity (electrolytic) — The conductivity (or specific conductance) of an electrolyte solution is a measure of its ability to conduct electricity. The SI unit of conductivity is siemens per meter (S/m). Conductivity measurements are used routinely in many industrial and… … Wikipedia
Electrical resistivity and conductivity — This article is about electrical conductivity in general. For the specific conductance of aqueous solutions, see Conductivity (electrolytic). For other types of conductivity, see Conductivity. Electrical resistivity (also known as resistivity,… … Wikipedia
Electrical conductivity meter — An electrical conductivity meter. An electrical conductivity meter (EC meter) measures the electrical conductivity in a solution. Commonly used in hydroponics, aquaculture and freshwater systems to monitor the amount of nutrients, salts or… … Wikipedia
Electrical conductivity — or specific conductivity is a measure of a material s ability to conduct an electric current. When an electrical potential difference is placed across a conductor, its movable charges flow, giving rise to an electric current. The conductivity σ… … Wikipedia
Thermal conductivity — In physics, thermal conductivity, k, is the property of a material that indicates its ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily in Fourier s Law for heat conduction.First, we define heat conduction by the formula::: H=frac{Delta Q}{Delta t}=k … Wikipedia
Surface conductivity — is an additional electric conductivity of fluid in the vicinity of the charged surface. Fluid conductivity is associated with ions motion in electric field. Concentration of ions is higher close to the charged surfaces. They are attracted there… … Wikipedia
Economic conductivity — (2008) is a sophisticated financial analysis of an oil or natural gas reservoir s ability to provide maximum financial payout through optimized productive capacity.Oil and natural gas are typically found hundreds or thousands of feet underground… … Wikipedia
Ground conductivity — refers to the electrical conductivity of the subsurface of the earth.Radio propagationGround conductivity is an extremely important factor in determining the field strength and propagation of surface wave (ground wave) radio transmissions. Low… … Wikipedia
Adiabatic conductivity — is a measure of a material s electrical conductivity, σ, under thermodynamically adiabatic conditions. ee alsoReferencesExternal links … Wikipedia
Optical conductivity — is one of the powerful tools for studying the electronic states in materials.[1] If a system is subjected to an external electric field then, in general, a redistribution of charges occurs and currents are induced. For small enough fields, the… … Wikipedia
