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 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.


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.


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 the ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another and is a physical property of matter?

The ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another is called thermal conductivity. It is a physical property of matter that quantifies how well a material can conduct heat. Materials with high thermal conductivity can transfer heat efficiently, while materials with low thermal conductivity are poor heat conductors.
