Question

What's the difference between resistance and resistivity?

Answer 1

RESISTANCE IS THE ABILITY OF CONDUCTER TO OPPOSES THE FLOW OF CURENT WHEREAS RESISTIVITY IS THE RESISTANCE OF PER UNIT LENGTH OF CROSS SECTIONAL AREA.

RESISTANCE DEPENDS ON AREA OF CROSS SECTION WHEREAS RESISTIVITY DEPENDS ON NATURE OF MATERIAL AND TEMPERATURE

Answer 2

Explanation:

Resistance is the opposition that a substance offers to the flow of electric current. .....

The electrical resistivity of a specimen of a material may also be known as its specific electrical resistance. It is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current......
