Electrical resistance. Ohms.
How well something conducts electricity is called its conductance, which is measured in siemens (S). Conductance is the reciprocal of an objects electrical resistance.
G=1/R

∙ 12y agoIt is a physical intrinsic and intensiveproperty.
An intrinsic property is an essential or inherent property of a system or of a material itself or within. It is independent of how much of the material is present and is independent of the form the material.
For example, mass is a physical intrinsic property of any physical object, whereasweight is an extrinsic property that varies depending on the strength of the gravitational field in which therespective object is placed.
In the physical sciences, anintensive property is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system: it is scale invariant.

Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.
What are some testable questions involving static electricity For example Does rubbing an object more cause more static electricity?
Which materials make more static electricity when different objects are rubbed up against eachother.
Objects that stop the flow of electricity are good insulators what materials would be the best insulator for an electrical wire?
Plastic Tubing.
What are the advantages of wheel?
the good things about the wheel consist of transportation, the ability to move large objects, and the invention of the wheel led to the invention of other important inventions such as the gear leading to the invention of automobiles.
Is interface in java is a kind of polymorphism?
In a sense, yes, but polymorphism usually refers to an objects ability to have different behaviors than that of it's parent class. Using an interface among multiple classes ensures that all subclasses have to implement those methods, and thus the objects could be stored in an instance of the superclass to allow for dynamic programming.
What is the ability to transmit heat or electricity to other objects called?
The terminology for heat is thermal transfer. To transmit electricity over long distances the terminology would be transformation where transformers step the voltage to a very high value to cut down on line loss. This high voltage is then stepped down at the other end of the transmission line to be used by utility companies to sell to their customers.
What is the measure of an objects ability to remain at rest or keep moving?
inertia

What is electical conductivity?
It is a measure of an objects ability to conduct electrical current between two points
Why do different elements have different colors?
The color of objects is determined by their ability to reflect, absorb, scatter or transmit light and also by the anatomy& physiology of the eye and brain.
How is an opaque object different from a translucent object in terms of its ability to transmit light?
Opaque objects don't allow light to pass through them while translucent objects slow the passage of light but ultimately allow it to pass through.
Does static electricity affect objects?
Yes, static electricity does affect objects.
Which object transmits light?
Objects that transmit lit are?
What is an objects ability to reflect sunlight called?
Reflectivity, index of refraction and optical density are all ways to measure reflective light.
Objects that transmit light easily are?
TRANSPARENT :) it means see through
Why do transparent objects not reflect light?
They do, to a small extent, but they transmit most of it.
Does electricity heat up objects?
yes. the more electricity the hotter.
