Question

what is meant by electrical resistivity of a material derive its SI unit​

Answer 1

Answer:

The electrical resistivity is the electrical resistance per unit length and per unit of cross-sectional area at a specified temperature. The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm⋅metre (Ω⋅m). It is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ, rho.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mathematically, resistivity of the conducting material is given by

 ρ = R x A/J  If l = 1 m, A = 1 m2, then ρ = R

Hence, the resistivity of the material is defined as the resistance offered by a metallic wire having a unit length and a unit area of cross-section. Since unit length and unit area of cross-section forms a cube, the specific resistance or resistivity can also be defined as the resistance offered by a cube of a material of side 1 m when current flows perpendicularly through the opposite faces.

In SI system, its units is

Unit of ρ = Unit of R X Unit of area of cross -Section/Unit of length of Conductor

= Ω x m2/m = Ωm
