High electrical conductivity refers to the ability of certain materials to conduct a large amount of electrical current. Electrical conductivity is abbreviated by the Greek letters sigma (Ï) or kappa (Îº). The SI unit of electrical conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m).
Electrical conductivity measures the ability of a substance to produce an electrical current, whereas electricity is the movement of charged particles which form that electrical current. A current, in the electrical realm, is simply a flow of charges which requires free movement.
