Abstract
Electrical conductivities of a multicomponent system in a uniform temperature, density, pressure, and magnetic field are obtained by using the transfer equations obtained by Burgers. The resulting formulas give the zero-order contribution to electrical conductivities by elastic scattering of colliding particles as a function of temperature and density. These formulas are applied to lithium and helium gases. The screened Coulomb cross sections and geometrical cross sections are used, respectively, for collisions involving charged particles and for collisions involving a charged particle and a neutral atom. The relative abundances of various species are obtained by using the Saha formulas. The limitations associated with the uses of the electrical conductivities are discussed.
