Electrical resistivity and conductivity 1 Ω⋅m. Electrical conductivity or specific conductance is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity, and measures a material's ability to conduct an electric current. It is commonly represented by the Greek letter σ (sigma), but κ (kappa) (especially in electrical engineering) or γ (gamma) are also occasionally used. Its SI unit is siemens per metre (S/m). In an ideal case, cross-section and physical composition of the examined material are uniform across the sample, and the electric field and current density are both parallel and constant everywhere. Many resistors and conductors do in fact have a uniform cross section with a uniform
Convergence of measures said to converge weakly (or in distribution or in law) to "X" as if the sequence of pushforward measures ("X")(P) converges weakly to "X"(P) in the sense of weak convergence of measures on X, as defined above. Convergence of measures In mathematics, more specifically measure theory, there are various notions of the convergence of measures. For an intuitive general sense of what is meant by "convergence in measure", consider a sequence of measures μ on a space, sharing a common collection of measurable sets. Such a sequence might represent an attempt to construct 'better and better' approximations to a desired
