Please follow me I will also follow u
Say me thanks bro please
Your answer is
Resistivity of a conducter is depend on its
1. Thickness
2. Length
Answer:
Hello there !
Explanation:
First of all Let us know about resistivity:
☞Resistivity :
It is the ratio of the intensity of the electric field E at any point within the conductor and the current-density j at that point is called 'specific resistance' or ' electric resistivity' of the conductor and is represented by ρ(rho).
_______________________________
Now , Factors affecting Resistivity:
[ As, we know that Resistivity is directly proportional to the total Resistance.]
Therefore.:
(✪ Area of cross- section:
☞ Since, Resistance R is inversely proportional to the Area of cross-section, thus we conclude that Resistivity is inversely proportional to the Area of cross-section.
(✪ Length:
☞ Resistance R of a conductor is inversely proportional to the Length , But Resistivity being a property of material is independent to the Length.
(✪ Nature of Material:
☞ Resistivity depends on the nature of material of which it is made .
For Ex.: Resistivity of a (same length and area of cross section) copper wire is less than a nichrome wire .
(✪. Temperature:
☞Within the Range of 500K most of the conductors ( specially metals) Resistivity increases with increase in temperature.
Hope it helps!
Thank you!
