### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Conductivity**: - Conductivity of a conductor is defined as the tendency of the conductor to allow the flow of electric charge. In most cases, this charge is carried by electrons in the material. 2. **Mathematical Representation**: - Conductivity (σ) is the inverse of resistivity (ρ). It can be expressed mathematically as: \[ ...
