Question

Differentiate between resistance and resisitvity​

Answer 1

The property of a conductor which resist the flow of charges through it is called resistance

The SI unit of resistance is ohm

The resistance of a conductor which have unit length and area is called resistivity

The SI unit of resistivity is ohm m

Answer 2

Resistance:

• It's the property of the conductor that opposes the flow of current.

Resistivity:

• It is the the resistance of a conductor at unit length and unit area of cross - section.

Resistance:

• The SI unit is Ohm.

Resistivity:

• The SI unit is Ohm metre.

Resistance:

• When we create a potential difference in a wire, the electron travel from negative to positive. While they are traveling from negative to positive, they collide with another atoms or electrons. This opposition is called resistance.

Resistivity:

• It is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly it resists or conducts the flow of electric current.
