The ability of a material to conduct an electric current is termed as ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY.
Generally,
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY is the ratio between ELECTRICAL FIELD STRENGTH and the CURRENT DENSITY of the conductor.
The unit is Sm-1.
It is also known as SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE.
ELECTRICAL CONDUCIVITY = (ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY)-1
The unit of ELECTRICAL CONDUCIVITY is ohm- meter.

Why does chalk not conduct electricity?
Chalk, which is calcium carbonate, does not conduct electricity. This is due to the electrons being held tightly by the ions, which means they are not free to travel and conduct electricity.
Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
Sodium oxide is an insulator because its atoms are held together by ionic bonds, which means that the electrons are tightly bound to the atoms and cannot move freely to conduct electricity. In order for a material to conduct electricity, it needs to have free moving electrons, which is not the case for sodium oxide.
Is sulfur conductor?
No. Sulfur is a nonmetal and is not a conductor of heat or electricity.
Does camphor conduct electricity?
No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.
Why ionic compound do not conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid because the ions are held in place by a lattice structure which means they are not free to move to conduct. However when molten or dissolved ionic compounds do conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.
Does a wooden ruler conducts electricity?
No, a wooden ruler does not conduct electricity because wood is an insulator, which means it does not allow electrical currents to flow through it. Metal rulers, on the other hand, can conduct electricity because metals are good conductors of electricity.
Does pyrite conduct electricity?
Yes, Pyrite can conduct electricity.
Why superconductor cannot conduct electricity?
Superconductors can conduct electricity.
Do pineapples conduct electricity?
yes a pineapple can conduct electricity.
Do diamonds conduct electricity?
they don't conduct electricity: they have no free electrons. graphite, however, made of the same stuff as diamond (carbon) has a different structure, which means that it does have free electrons, and a lot of them. Therefore graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Is a leaf conductor or insulator of electricity?
A leaf is an insulator of electricity. This means that it does not conduct electricity well and would not allow an electric current to pass through it easily.
What metal can't conduct electricity?
all metals can conduct electricity
