conductively
By carrying current
In a manner that transmits heat, electricity, or sound.
Materials that transfer energy conductively allow it to pass through direct contact rather than radiation or convection: Heat spreads conductively through the metal pan.
The term appears mainly in scientific and technical contexts.
