Thanks David. I might be in touch soon regarding this.

The offending paragraph on this page follows:

http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_1/2.html


"Physical dimension also impacts conductivity. For instance, if we take two strips of the same conductive material -- one thin and the other thick -- the thick strip will prove to be a better conductor than the thin for the same length. If we take another pair of strips -- this time both with the same thickness but one shorter than the other -- the shorter one will offer easier passage to electrons than the long one. This is analogous to water flow in a pipe: a fat pipe offers easier passage than a skinny pipe, and a short pipe is easier for water to move through than a long pipe, all other dimensions being equal."


If we were to replace conductivity with conductance the paragraph would be technically correct. However, I do not see that conductance is discussed at all in this section. Therefore, I would be inclined to delete the whole paragraph, unless there is a strong opinion to add the discussion of conductance to this section.

Thanks to all of you for pointing out this error,

The paragraph has been commented out of the SML source. It is still in the source, but doesnt show in the final copy.
