Yes

A characteristic property is a chemical or physical property that helps identify and classify substances. The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample one is observing is large or small. Examples of characteristic properties include freezing/melting point, boiling/condensing point, density, magnetism, electric and thermal conductivity, and solubility.

What property of an object describes how easily electricity travels through it?

The property that describes how easily electricity travels through an object is called conductivity. Materials with high conductivity allow electric current to flow easily, while materials with low conductivity impede the flow of electricity.


What property allows heat or electricity to pass through?

Conductivity is the property that allows heat or electricity to pass through a material. Materials with high conductivity allow heat or electricity to pass through easily, while materials with low conductivity inhibit the flow of heat or electricity.


Does the value of thermal conductivity depend on the dimension of the specimen?

Thermal conductivity is an intensive property. It is inherent in the material but not dependent on the amount of material. This should not be confused with the rate of heat conduction which can depend on the dimensions of a material. There is one case where the thermal conductivity might depend on the dimension of the material - when the conductivity is not uniform with direction, i.e. where conductivity laterally is different from conductivity longitudinally. When the orientation of the material changes the conductivity, the dimensions can have an effect on the apparent bulk thermal conductivity.

What is thermal conductivity dependent on?

Thermal conductivity depends upon the nature/identity of the substance and upon temperature. In some cases, such as wood, it depends upon the conduction heat transfer direction with respect to the material structure.

Is a electrical conductivity a physical property?

Because some metals do conduct electricity, it is considered a physical property. Since some metals are conductive, the conductivity is technically a physical property of all metals, even if the value of conductivity is zero.
