Electrical resistivity is a property unique to every material, which is essential to understand before creating and designing electrical and electronic systems. Knowledge of how materials differ in resistivity provides information for selecting appropriate materials used for building motors, electrical circuits, dielectrics, resistive heating, and superconducting applications.

What is Thermal Conductivity?

Thermal conductivity is a measure of the ability of a certain material to transfer or conduct heat. Conduction occurs when a temperature gradient is present across the material. Its units are (W/mK) and is denoted either by λ or k.

Comparing Hardness Tests: Vickers, Rockwell, Brinell, Mohs, Shore and Knoop

Hardness describes the resistance that a material exhibits to permanent indentation or marking by scratches. Hardness is not a material property, rather a value ascribed to a material as a result of empirical testing.
