define Resistivity and state SI unit does it its value with temperature
Answers
Heya!!
_________________________⭐⭐⭐
Resistivity is the property of a material through which it opposes the flow of current.
→ SI unit is rho
→ where,
R = rho L/A
rho = RA/L
→ For metals ... resistivity increases with increase in temperature
→ for semiconductors... it's value decreases with increase in temperature.
hope it helps!!

Explanation:
(i) The resistance of a given conductor is directly proportional to its length.That is :
R proportional to L....(¡)
(ii) The resistance of a given conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross-section,That is :
R inversely proportional to 1/A.......(¡¡)
By combining the relations (¡) and (¡¡),we get :
R is inversely proportional to L/A
R=p×L/A.....(¡¡¡)
where p(rho) is a constant known as resistivity of the material of the conductor. Resistivity is also known as specific resistance.
From equation (¡¡¡),it is clear that for a given conductor having a specified length L and area of cross-section A,the resistance R is directly proportional to its resistivity P.So, if we change the material of a conductor to one whose resistivity is two times , then the resistance will also become two times, then the resistance will also become two times.And if we change the material of a conductor to one whose resistivity is three times, then the resistance will also become three times.
If we arrange equation(¡¡¡),we can write it as :
Resistivity, P=R×A/L
where R = Resistance
A= Area of cross - section
and L= Length of the conductor
