what is resistivity mean in physics?
Answers
The resistivity offered by a cube of a substance having side of 1 when current passes through perpendicular to the opposite faces is called its resistivity.
The resistivity of a conductor depends upon its nature , length and area of cross section.
It is found resistivity of a conductor is indirectly proportional to the length and depends to the the cross section.
R ∝ L - (i)
R ∝ 1/A - (ii)
From (i)and (ii) :-
R ∝ L/A
R = ρ (L/A)
- → ρ = Rho (Resistivity constant)
- → R = Resistivity
- → L = Length of conductor
- → A = Area of cross - section
