Concept explainers

Resistivity

Resistivity is a characteristic property of the conductor’s material that measures the extent to which the material opposes the flow of current. It is denoted by the Greek letter “rho”. Electrical resistivity, also known as specific resistance, depends on the nature of the material of the conductor and is unaffected by its dimensions.

If we have a material with the same electrical properties in all directions, we define its resistivity p (the Greek letter "rho") as the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric field E and the current density J: 0= In vector form, The SI unit of resistivity is one-ohm meter (1 Q-m, where the Greek letter "omega" stands for "ohm"). One ohm equals one volt per ampere (1 0 = 1 VIA). For many materials and devices, Georg Simon Ohm found that J is directly proportional to E at a given temperature. If so, p is constant and we say that the material or device follows Ohm's Law or that it is ohmic. е Calculate the resistivity of a certain metal if an electric field of 7.2 x 10-3 V/m gives a current density of 1.20 x 105 A/m2 he 6.0 x 10-8 ohm-m 7.2 103 ohm-m ware O 1.2 x 105 ohm-m izo. 0.17 x 102 ohm-m icrosoft Teams Click Save and Submit to save and submit.
