ABSTRACT: Electrical and thermal conductivity studies play a vital role in the field of science and
technology. According to the conductivity terms, materials can be classified in to good
conductors, bad conductors, semiconductors and super conductors. In the free electron theory,
electron only acts as carrier and carries its energy from one point to another point either natural
or forced. In the present investigation, five renal stones are collected from the poor hard
working males who are affected with mineral deposition in the urinary tracts. The stones are
collected from the hospital by Lithotropic treatment process. Using two- probes method, the
electrical conductivities are measured at different temperatures. The thermal conductivity and
temperature coefficients are calculated. The results are reported and discussed.
