Answer:

Explanation:

Resistivity or specific resistance of a body is a characteristic by which one can judge the electrical property of a substance. ... Resistivity quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electrons through it. If a material has low resistivity, it means it offers less resistance to the electric current

Conduction of Current depends Upon Resistivity

Explanation:

  • The Electrical Quantity that helps in measurement of how the electric current flow reduces through a materiel or device.
  • The Unit of Resistance for its measurement is Ohms (\Omega)
  • In case of fluid flow (water) through pipes, the thinner the pipe, the bigger is resistance value, hence the flow of water gets reduced.

  • For Poor conductors resistivity is Higher.
  • Resistivity is good characteristic property of any material, as it helps in comparison so many properties but conduction of electric current depends upon their ability of resistivity.
  • Any conductors unit length and unit cross sectional area, shows the conduction or electrical resistance, Resistivity.
