Electrical Conductivity of Tellurium (Te) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Electrical current is one of the most important and pratical discoveries of mankind. To have electrical flow we need to have a material with electrical conductivity, such as Tellurium. Ok, so what is the electrical conductivity of an atom of Te?

Note: Learn more about the electrical conductivity here.

In the case of Tellurium the electrical conductivity is 2.0e-6 10^6/cm ohm. There are cool facts about Tellurium that most don't know about. Let me show you...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Electrical Conductivity of Tellurium (Te) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
