define specific conductance (conductivity)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is the conductance of a conductor that is 1 m in length and `1m^(2)` in cross section area in SI units. (In C.G.S. units, it is the resistance of a conductor that is 1 cm in length and `1cm^(2)` in cross section area.) It is the conductance of a conductor of volume `1m^(3)` (or in C.G.S. units, the volume of `1cm^(3)`)
