Resistivity:
Resistivity is defined as a measure of the resistance of a given length of a material for conduction. Write the expression for the conductivity.
ρ = R A L
The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the Ω . m .
Step 2
Conductivity:
Conductivity is defined as a measure of ease at which the electric charge or heat that can pass through a material. Write the expression for the conductivity.
σ = 1 ρ
The unit of conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m).
