define resistance and resistivity and also give the relation between them.explain the dependence of resistance on temperature.
Answers
✓Resistance:
It is tendency of a conductor to obstruct the flow of electrons.The SI unit is ohm.
✓✓Resistivity:
It is the resistance provided by a conductor of unit length and area of 1 sq.m.The SI unit is ohm metre.
✓✓✓Dependance of resistance on temperature:
Resistance is proportional to temperature.If temperature is increased, resistance also increases and vice versa.

I hope it helps you!!!
Resistance is the term which is the resisting of flowing of charges from a specific substance of any size.
Consider we have a solid substance of copper. It will have a resisting of charges from flowing through the substance.
If we change its length and area provided to drift of charge, its resistance will vary.
But the one thing that will constant for all copper substance of any shape and size is resistivity. The resistance of a substance of copper , iron , germanium will vary if we change the shape and size of that substance, but its resistivity is constant at any shape and size.
Resistivity is different in copper,Iron etc because of their nature,but if we change the shape,only resistance will change.

Resistivity is like the density of a material that is constant and resistance is like the mass which will depend on the length area or (volume) of substance.
