Conductivity  

Definition

  • $\ extit{Conductivity}$ is a scalar or tensor quantity the product of which by the electric field strength in a medium is equal to the electric current density. For an isotropic medium the conductivity is a scalar quantity; for an anisotropic medium it is a tensor quantity. $$\\mathbf{J} = \\sigma \\mathbf{E}$$ Where $\\mathbf{J}$ is electric current density, and $\\mathbf{E}$ is electric field strength.
