Resistivity (Specific resistance) is Specific to material of the wire. It’s independent of dimensions of wire.

∴ Resisitivity remains same.

Anshumandey19: wrong resistivity or specific resistance per unit length of the conductor
Anshumandey19: it depends upon the length
JunaidMirza: When you say “per unit length” it clearly means it is independent of length of the wire. Try to understand the definitions which you’ve memorised.
priyahariharchamp: that is resistance not resistivity
Anshumandey19: resistance depends upon resistivity
Anshumandey19: well you should first read and then answer
Anshumandey19: resistance is the obstruction offered by the material of the conductor to the flow of current this type of resistance is called external resistance
Anshumandey19: but the obstruction offered by the electrolytes and electrodes
