Question

Distinguish between the terms electrical resistance and resistivity of conductor.

Answer 1

Answer:

Resistance is the obstruction offered to the flow of current by a conductor. Resistivity is the obstruction offered to the flow of current by UNIT AREA OF the conductor. So basically, resistance is the property of the object (say a copper wire), whereas resistivity is the property of the substance (copper).

Answer 2

resistance is obstruction offer to the flow of current by a conductor . resistivity is the obstruction offered to the flow of current by unit area of the conductor
