Abstract
Solid materials may be divided into three groups on the basis of the magnitude and mechanism of electrical conduction — conductors, semiconductors, and dielectrics (solid electrolytes). The highest conductivities are found in metals and their alloys, with values of conductivity ranging from 103 to 106 mho/cm.
