Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity, and is expressed in siemens per metre (S/m). Resistivity and, therefore, conductivity vary with temperature so are usually quoted at a specified temperature.

Resistance is expressed in ohms. If you accurately measure the resistance, length, and cross-sectional area of a conductor, then you could determine its resistivity and, from that, its conductivity.

What is the formula for finding ohms?

The formula for calculating resistance in ohms (Ω) is given by Ohm's Law, which states that resistance (R) is equal to voltage (V) divided by current (I). Mathematically, this is expressed as R = V/I, where R is resistance in ohms, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes. This relationship helps to determine how much resistance is present in an electrical circuit.

What is the formula in finding the resistance?

For DC circuits: R = l*p / A R - resistance l = length of the conductor p = electrical resistivity A = the cross sectional area Calculating for AC, and especially three phase power becomes much more complicated. If you need to know more for AC, let me know specifics.
