conductivities

Abilities to transmit

Conductivities is the plural of conductivity, the capacity of a material to transmit something—typically heat or electricity.

Different materials have different conductivities: The conductivities of copper and aluminum make them ideal for wiring.

The term appears most often in technical and scientific contexts comparing how well various substances conduct energy.
