EXAMPLE OF USE
When heat is applied to a portion of a material, that heat will move through the material. This movement of heat through a material is called the thermal current. Depending on the composition of the atoms of that material, the heat may move very slowly, or it may move very quickly. This dependance is quantified by the coefficient of thermal conductivity. Each material has a unique coefficient of thermal conductivity. A high coefficient means heat moves very quickly; a low coefficient means heat moves very slowly. Below is a chart of thermal conductivities for some common materials.
