How eagerly a material lets electrons gossip from one end to the other.
means A measure of how easily a material allows electric current (or heat) to flow through it.
from From Latin conducere — 'to lead together' or 'bring along' — from com- ('together') plus ducere ('to lead'). The same root gives us 'conduct' and 'conductor,' the person who leads an orchestra or leads electricity along a wire. The '-ivity' suffix turns the act of leading into a measurable property — so conductivity is literally 'the degree to which something leads [current] through.'
- best conductor
- silver, but copper is cheaper so it wins
- worst conductor
- rubber, which is why you are still alive
- superconductors
- zero resistance, but only near absolute zero
- body hack
- you conduct electricity, mostly thanks to salty water
