Conductivity, Electric

A term used in describing the capability of a conductor to carry electric current. Usually expressed as a percent of IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), which is defined as being 100 percent conductive. The test is performed under controlled conditions where there is a given length at a given temperature, and the equation is adjusted for its weight and resistance of the specimen.
