The electrical conductivity of liquid (Fe90Ni10)3S2 saturated with 2.6 weight percent carbon averages 2.7.105 mho/m at 1000°C and zero pressure. This may imply a slightly lower electrical conductivity for the earth's core than that obtained by extrapolating the properties of pure liquid iron and solid iron alloys to core pressures and temperatures. Although a sulphur-rich core would have a smaller proportion of sulphur, the effect of lowering the sulphur content of the Fe-Ni-S-C liquid to about 15 weight percent would be unlikely to increase the conductivity above 5.105 mho/m.
