Calculate Conductivity





Formula

The formula to calculate the Conductivity (σ) is:

\[ \sigma = N_e \cdot [Charge-e] \cdot \mu_n \]

Definition

Conductivity is the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material. It is the reciprocal of resistivity. Electron Concentration is defined as the concentration of electrons with respect to the volume. Mobility of electron is defined as the magnitude of average drift velocity per unit electric field.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \sigma = 3E+16 \cdot 1.60217662E-19 \cdot 180 \approx 0.8651753748 \]

The Conductivity is approximately 0.8651753748 Siemens per Meter.
