Similarities Between Electrical and Thermal Conductivity of Metals

The electrical and thermal conductivity decreases with the increase in temperature and impurities.

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF METALS

(i) The electrical and thermal conductivity decreases with the increase in temperature and impurities.

(ii) The electrical and thermal conductivity is very high at low temperature.

 (iii) For non-metals, the electrical and thermal conductivity is very less.
