conÂ·ducÂ·tivÂ·iÂ·ty. n. pl. conÂ·ducÂ·tivÂ·iÂ·ties. 1. The ability or power to conduct or transmit heat, electricity, or sound. 2. The conductance of a material. 3. Physiology The conductibility of a structure, especially the ability of a nerve to transmit a wave of excitation.
Electrical conductivity is the measured amount of current generation created on a metal targetâs surface. More simply, it is how easily an electrical current can flow through a metal. While all metals can conduct electricity, certain metals are more commonly used due to being highly conductive. The most common example is Copper. It is highly conductive which is why it is has been used in electrical wiring since the days of the telegraph.
