conductivity
(noun)
The ability of a material to conduct electricity, heat, fluid, or sound.
Examples of conductivity in the following topics:
-
Student Learning Outcomes
- Conduct and interpret hypothesis tests for two population means, population standard deviations known.
- Conduct and interpret hypothesis tests for two population means, population standard deviations unknown.

Codes of Conduct
- Organizations adopt codes of conduct to guide employees' actions and decisions.
- As part of comprehensive compliance and ethics programs, many companies formulate policies pertaining to the ethical conduct of employees.
- Public signage often contains messages guiding conduct.
- Similarly, behavior in organizational settings may be guided by organizational codes of conduct.
- State the importance of utilizing a code of conduct to outline and maintain ethical business standards within an organization
-
Conduction
- Conduction is the transfer of heat through stationary matter by physical contact.
- Some materials conduct thermal energy faster than others.
- Fluids and gases are less conductive than solids.
- Heat conduction occurs through any material, represented here by a rectangular bar.
- The rate of heat transfer by conduction is directly proportional to the surface area A, the temperature difference T2−T1, and the substance's conductivity k.
-
Student Learning Outcomes
- Conduct and interpret hypothesis tests for a single population mean, population standard deviation known.
- Conduct and interpret hypothesis tests for a single population mean, population standard deviation unknown.

Classification of Nerves
- Efferent nerves conduct signals away from the central nervous system to target muscles and glands.
- Fibers of the A group have a large diameter, high conduction velocity, and are myelinated.
- Fibers of the B group are myelinated with a small diameter and have a low conduction velocity.
- Fibers of the C group are unmyelinated, have a small diameter, and low conduction velocity.
- The lack of myelination in the C group is the primary cause of their slow conduction velocity.
-
Doping: Connectivity of Semiconductors
- The conduction band is the band above the valence band.
- Electrons in the conduction band are free to move about in the lattice and can conduct current.
- If the gap between the valence and conduction bands is large, then the substance does not conduct electricity easily (it is an insulator).
- The gap between the valence and conduction bands determines whether a substance will conduct electricity.
- The overlap or size of the gap between the valence and conduction bands determines the electrical conductivity of a substance.

Plan the Research Design
- The research design is a framework or blueprint for conducting the marketing research project.
- Conducting exploratory research, precisely defining the variables, and designing appropriate scales to measure them are a part of the research design.
- A research design is a framework or blueprint for conducting the marketing research project.
- Decisions are also made regarding what data should be obtained from the respondents (e,g,, by conducting a survey or an experiment).
-
Conducting Research
- How you conduct research depends upon the topic you are researching.
- Methods of conducting qualitative research include conducting interviews and observing different social scenarios.
-
Conductors and Insulators
- Based on the ability to conduct current, materials are divided into conductors and insulators.
- Ionic substances and solutions can conduct electricity, but the most common and effective conductors are metals.
- Copper is commonly used in wires due to its high conductivity and relatively inexpensive price.
- However, gold-plated wires are sometimes used in instances in which especially high conductivity is necessary.
- Insulators are materials in which the internal charge cannot flow freely, and thus cannot conduct electric current to an appreciable degree when exposed to an electric field.
