The transport properties of CuO-Bi_{2}O_{3} pellets (pressed at room temperature 303 K) like dc electrical conductivity etc. are measured. The activation energy, dielectric constant etc. are reported. The hopping conduction is examined. Non-adiabatic hopping conduction is observed. The plot of -log σ versus 1/T is found to be linear. Activation energy of pellets containing CuO (80, 70, 60 mol%) shows electronic conduction while the pellet containing CuO (50 mol%) shows ionic conduction. The effect of content of CuO (mol%) and frequency on dielectric constant is also studied. The variation of dielectric constant with CuO (mol%) shows zigzag nature and may be due to the relaxation effects.
