Answer :-

• Thermal conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct heat, and it represents the quantity of thermal energy that flows per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of 1° per unit distance.

• It is generally denoted by the symbol ‘k’ but can also be denoted by ‘λ’ and ‘κ’.

• The reciprocal of this quantity is known as thermal resistivity.

• Materials with high thermal conductivity are used in heat sinks whereas materials with low values of λ are used as thermal insulators.
