In the framework of the linear response theory a quantumstatistical expression for the conductivity of nonideal plasmas is derived. In a simple approximation the influence of electron‐ion scattering and that of masses of equal magnitude on the conductivity is discussed; the latter is expressed in terms of transport collision frequencies.
