Wiedemann–Franz Law
In physics, the Wiedemann–Franz law states that the ratio of the electronic contribution of the thermal conductivity (''κ'') to the electrical conductivity (''σ'') of a metal is proportional to the temperature (''T''). : \frac \kappa \sigma = LT Theoretically, the proportionality constant ''L'', known as the Lorenz number, is equal to : L = \frac \kappa = \frac 3 \left(\frac e \right)^2 = 2.44\times 10^\;\mathrm^2\mathrm^, where ''k''B is Boltzmann's constant and ''e'' is the elementary charge. This empirical law is named after Gustav Wiedemann and Rudolph Franz, who in 1853 reported that ''κ''/''σ'' has approximately the same value for different metals at the same temperature. The proportionality of ''κ''/''σ'' with temperature was discovered by Ludvig Lorenz in 1872. Derivation Qualitatively, this relationship is based upon the fact that the heat and electrical transport both involve the free electrons in the metal. The mathematical e ...
