Resistivity

 

Resitance variation with Length (l) and Area (A) of cross section has a constant called

RESISTIVITY

 

 

RESISTANCE IS PROPORTIONAL TO LENGTH and INVERSELY RELATED TO AREA OF CROSS SECTION

 

Units of Resistivity: ?

 

 

Conductivity is inverse of resistivity. (Copper, Silver excellent conductors)ResistivityTable.jpg

 

Resistivity INCREASES WITH TEMPERATURE
