Wiedemann–Franz law

ID: wiedemann-franz-law

The Wiedemann–Franz law is a principle in solid-state physics and materials science that relates the electrical conductivity of a metal to its thermal conductivity. It states that the ratio of the thermal conductivity (\(K\)) to the electrical conductivity (\(\sigma\)) of a metal is proportional to the temperature (\(T\)).
