Thermal conductivity. (and perhaps you should also conciser "latent heat" because that is also heat that is being carried).

What electricity refers to the electrical charge an object develops as a result of having an unequal amount of protons and electrons?
Lexi Vier
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 meaning of metal?
Of or pertaining to a metal; of the nature of metal; resembling metal; as, a metallic appearance; a metallic alloy., Of, pertaining to, or characterized by, the essential and implied properties of a metal, as contrasted with a nonmetal or metalloid; basic; antacid; positive.
Names of conductors?
The best conductor of electricity is silver followed by copper, gold, aluminum and calcium. Copper is used for most electrical cable. Silver is too costly to be used in electrical applications. Although gold is not as conductive as copper, it is often used for connectors. Because gold doesn't tarnish, it makes for a reliable connector. Aluminum is used in commercial power transmission systems but it is difficult to install properly so it is almost never seen in home wiring systems. Finally, calcium is only half as conductive as copper and reacts with air and water making it a poor choice for electrical systems.
What of the four fundamental forces is an attraction between opposite charges?
Electrostatic force — APEX
What is thermal and electrical conductiuity?
Thermal conductivity refers to the conductivity that is associated with heat. Electrical conductivity refers to the conductivity that is associated with electricity.
What type of Conductivity refers to carrying heat?
Thermal
The term conductivity refers to?
the conduction of electricity
Is conductivness a word?
No, "conductivness" is not a recognized word. The correct term is "conductivity," which refers to the ability of a material to conduct electricity or heat.

Does cloth conduct electricity?
fabric is not a good conductor. it insulates which is why a blanket keeps you warm - it holds the body heat you release inside. ================================== Another take: The question refers to electrical conductivity, which is not necessarily the same as heat conductivity for the same substance. Although gold fabric, lead fabric, and carbon fabric certainly exist, the most common and familiar fabrics are woven from natural or artificial fibers, which are poor conductors of electric current.
What do we call electricity that comes to our homes?
That refers to electrical power (energy per time unit); this energy is carried by an electrical current.

When a lamp is switched off is the electrical current to the light open or closed?
Open and closed does not refer to electrical current or the flow of electricity. Open or closed refers to the state of an electrical circuit. When a lamp is turned on electricity flows through wires, the switch and the lamp; and the circuit is considered closed. When a lamp is switched off the circuit is considered open (or broken) and the flow of electric current is stopped.
What is thermal conductivity of cast iron?
Thermal conductivity refers to the measure of the ability of a material to allow the flow of heat from its warmer surface to its colder surface. The thermal conductivity of cast iron is 80 Wm-1K-1.
What is the thermal conductivity of Cast iron?

What does S and C stand for in the electric industry?
"S" stands for supply, which refers to the production or generation of electricity. "C" stands for consumption, which refers to the usage or demand for electricity by consumers.
