Electric Conductivity

Electric conductivity, abbreviated as G, is the amount of current that a material can conduct.  Depending on the material, the transfer rate will vary.  Lower the resistance, higher the conductivity.  Higher the resistance, lower the conductivity.

\(\large{ \sigma }\) (Greek symbol sigma) = electric conductivity	-	\(\large{\frac{S}{m}}\)
\(\large{ R }\) = electric resistance	\(\large{\frac{V}{I}}\)	\(\large{\Omega}\)
\(\large{ I }\) = electric current	\(\large{\frac{V}{R}}\)	\(\large{I}\)
