How does thermal conductivity differ from electric conductivity?
On deals with heat transmission (diamond is great at that) the other transmission of electrons (diamond is very poor at that)' Most metals are fairly good at both.
What is the principle of conductivity?
The common laboratory conductivity meters employ a potentiometric method and four electrodes. Often, the electrodes are cylindrical and arranged concentrically. The electrodes are usually made of platinum metal. An alternating current is applied to the outer pair of the electrodes. The potential between the inner pair is measured. Conductivity could in principle be determined using the distance between the electrodes and their surface area using the Ohm's law but generally, for accuracy, a calibration is employed using electrolytes of well-known conductivity. Industrial conductivity probes often employ an inductive method, which has the advantage that the fluid does not wet the electrical parts of the sensor. Here, two inductively-coupled coils are used. One is the driving coil producing a magnetic field and it is supplied with accurately-known voltage. The other forms a secondary coil of a transformer. The liquid passing through a channel in the sensor forms one turn in the secondary winding of the transformer. The induced current is the output of the sensor.
How is the strength of an acid measured?
for weak acids e.g lemon juice you would use PH strips dip it in the acid then the strip will change to a certain colour, you then hold this up against a colour chart for the best match. However if your talking about stronger acids I believe you pass an electrical current through it a low PH which equates to it being acidic would give a positive conductivity a high PH which equates to it being alkaline would give a negative conductivity.
Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution solution?
Conductivity through a solution is generally through the ions that are present in it. Pure water is not very conductive at all, but salty water is quite conductive. Therefore the more salt or ions dissolved in solution, the higher the conductivity (within limits). As you dilute in solution the concentration of ions goes down, and the ability to pass a current is diminished.
Is a copper wire a magnetic object?
Well, when you make it into a coil and pass an electrical current through it, yes. In its normal state, however, it is not.
What is a rocks ability to allow water to pass through?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
A rocks ability to allow water to pass through is called a what?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
Of all the nonmetals which has the highest conductivity?
The carbon allotrope we call diamond has the highest thermal (heat) conductivity of any material. It is far better an any metal (or anything else we know of) at allowing heat to pass through it. It is carbon (in its graphite allotrope) that has the highest electrical conductivity under normal conditions of any of the nonmetals. Any metal is a better electrical conductor, but carbon is good enough to make brushes for electrical motors out of. You'll recall that the brushes complete the electrical circuit between the wiring of the non-moving elements to the rotating commutator.
What is the name for a material which lets electricity flow through it easily?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. A conductor. It lets heat and electrical current easily.
