Conductivity
 
  Conductivity may refer to:

  • Electrical conductivity
    Electrical conductivity

    Electrical conductivity or specific conductance is a measure of a material's ability to electrical conduction an electric current. When an electrical potential difference is placed across a conductor, its movable charges flow, giving rise to an electric current....
    , a measure of a material's ability to conduct an electric current
  • Hydraulic conductivity
    Hydraulic conductivity

    Hydraulic conductivity, symbolically represented as , is a property of vascular plants, soil or rock, that describes the ease with which water can move through pore spaces or fractures....
    , a property of a porous material's ability to transmit water
  • Thermal conductivity
    Thermal conductivity

    In physics, thermal conductivity, , is the List of materials properties of a material that indicates its ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily in Heat conduction#Fourier's law for heat conduction....
    , the intensive property of a material that indicates its ability to conduct heat
  • Rayleigh conductivity, describing the behavior of apertures concerning the flow of a liquid or gas
