The ions dissociate (separate) in solution and can conduct electricity.
Yes
Electric current is the flow of charged particles. When ionic crystals disolve in water, the bonds between ions are broken. As a result, the ions are free to move about, and the solution conducts current. Likewise, when an ionic compound melts, the ions are able to move freely, and the liquid conducts current. In contrast, ionic compounds in solid form do not conduct current well. The ions in the solid crystal are tightly bound to each other and cannot move from place to place. If charged particles cannot move, there is no current.
Thermal conductivity is a physical property.
When ionic compounds are placed in water, they cause the water to conduct electricity. Normally, water doesn't conduct electricity well at all. However, when salts dissolve in water, they break up into their constituent cations and anions and it is the presence of these ions that allows it to conduct electricity. Because salts conduct electricity when dissolved in water, they are referred to as electrolytes. In the same way, pure salts conduct electricity only when they are melted. As a solid, the anions and cations in an ionic compound are locked in place and unable to move electrical charge. However, when the ionic compound is melted, these ions are free to move around and conduct charge. Electrolytes are compounds that conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Many ionic compounds are considered to be electrolytes. However some ionic compounds don't dissolve in water. As a result, they do not share this property.
Melting or dissolving ionic compounds increases the electrical conductivity. This is because there are free mobile charged ions that can move in the electric field and conduct current.
Electrical conductivity rises dramatically, and this is due to mobile ions that move in solution or the molten salt under the influence of an electrical field. These mobile ions carry the current.

Electrical conductivity is a physical property, not a change.

Electrical conductivity depends on temperature.
Yes
Conductivty is an electrical property of conducting materials. Silver has the higest conductivity, then copper then aluminimum. Conductivity does not really change with electrical wiring so the power will not be directly affected.
The electrical conductivity is modified.

The electrical conductivity of the solution will be higher if the concentration of NaCl increase.
