Translation guide
The ability of a material to conduct electricity, heat, or sound. In Japanese, the term depends on what is being conducted.
The ability to conduct electric current.
Standard term for electrical conductivity, used in physics and engineering.
Copper has high electrical conductivity.
More explicit term for electrical conductivity, often used in technical contexts.
Measure the electrical conductivity of this material.
Refers to the property of being electrically conductive, often used in material descriptions.
This polymer has electrical conductivity.
The ability to conduct heat.
The general concept of conductivity, often in scientific contexts.
The ability to conduct sound waves.
Technical term for acoustic conductivity, rarely used outside specialized fields.
The acoustic conductivity of this material is low.
Descriptive phrase meaning 'property of transmitting sound', used when technical term is unnecessary.
Water has the property of conducting sound.
Both mean electrical conductivity. 導電率 is more common and shorter. 電気伝導率 is more explicit and used in formal technical writing.
伝導性 (e.g., 導電性, 熱伝導性) refers to the property or quality of being conductive, while 伝導率 refers to the measured value or coefficient. Use 伝導性 when describing a material's characteristic, and 伝導率 when stating a numerical value.
溶液の導電度を測る。
Measure the conductivity of the solution.
