Question

Define the term resistivity of material

Answer 1

The electrical resistivity of a materialis also known as its specific electrical resistance. It is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. A definition ofresistivity is the electrical resistance per unit length and per unit of cross-sectional area.

Answer 2

Electrical resistivity (also known as resistivity, specific electrical resistance, or volume resistivity) is a fundamental property that quantifies how strongly a givenmaterial opposes the flow of electric current. A lowresistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.
