Resistivity of the conductor

Definition

The resistivity of the conductor is independent of length or area or cross-section but dependent on the material and temperature.

• Every material has a different resistivity
• It is denoted by (rho)

SI Unit

From Ohm’s Law,

Thus SI Unit of Resistivity is (Ohm Meters)
