resistivityˌri zɪsˈtɪv ɪ ti
resistivity (n)
English Definitions:
electric resistance, electrical resistance, impedance, resistance, resistivity, ohmic resistance (noun)
a material's opposition to the flow of electric current; measured in ohms
resistivity (Noun)
In general, the resistance to electric current of a material. In particular, the degree to which a material resists the flow of electricity or heat.
resistivity (Noun)
The reciprocal of conductivity.
resistivity
Electrical resistivity (also called specific electrical resistance or volume resistivity) is a fundamental property of a material that measures how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho). The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm-meter (Ω⋅m). For example, if a 1 m3 solid cube of material has sheet contacts on two opposite faces, and the resistance between these contacts is 1 Ω, then the resistivity of the material is 1 Ω⋅m. Electrical conductivity or specific conductance is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity. It represents a material's ability to conduct electric current. It is commonly signified by the Greek letter σ (sigma), but κ (kappa) (especially in electrical engineering) and γ (gamma) are sometimes used. The SI unit of electrical conductivity is siemens per metre (S/m). Resistivity and conductivity are intensive properties of materials, giving the opposition of a standard cube of material to current. Electrical resistance and conductance are corresponding extensive properties that give the opposition of a specific object to electric current.
