Question

State the factors on which the resistance of a cylindrical conductor depends. Hence, define resistivity​

Answer 1

Answer:

For a cylindrical conductor

1.length:

the resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and

2.area :

the resistance is inversely proportional to the area of the conductor that is resistance is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the cylindrical conductor

RESISTIVITY

Resistivity is a measure of the resistance of a given size of a specific material to electrical conduction.

Resistivity may also be referred to as the specific electrical resistance, or volume resistivity, although these terms are less widely used.
