Conductivity<br />
Often more convenient to consider a material as<br />
conducting electrical current rather than resisting its<br />
flow<br />
Conductivity of a material is simply the reciprocal of<br />
resistivity:<br />
Electrical conductivity =<br />
1<br />
r<br />
where conductivity has units of (-m) -1 ((-in) -1 )<br />
