Question

does specific resistance and resistance are same?​

Answer 1

Resistance is related to a particular conductor. At a fixed temperature amount of resistance offered in the flow of current by a conductor having unit length and the unit cross section is called its specific resistance.

Answer 2

Answer:

no

Explanation:

specific resistance (or resistivity) is a materialistic property,

while resistance depends on the length and Area of cross section of the conductor

R = pl/A

where

p - specific resistance (resistivity)

L - length of the conductor

A - area of cross section of the conductor

here the resistivity, depends on the nature of material

example,

A silver wire of 1 m length will have lesser resistivity than a copper wire of 1 m

but

resistivity of silver wire of 1m and 3m (both silver) will be same however their resistance will be diffrent
