Calculations involving conductivity, Models of electrical conduction in metals Flashcards
1
Q
What does conductance mean?
A
The opposite of resistance, how easily it is for electric current to flow through something
2
Q
What is the equation of conductance?
A
1 / Resistance
3
Q
What is the relationship between the conductance and length of the wire?
A
Conductance is inversely proportional to the length of the wire
4
Q
What equation relates the resistance and the resistivity?
A
Resistance = ( resistivity X length ) / Area
5
Q
What does the resistivity equal?
A
1 / conductivity
6
Q
What equation relates conductance and conductivity?
A
Conductance = ( conductivity X area ) / Length
