Assuming electrical resistivity is meant, the Ohm is the simple measure.
For AC quantities, impedance, still measured in Ohms is the unit, but with a phase angle included.
add. The concept of impedance has been applied very usefully to Electrical transmission.
Acoustic waves at least have two components (velocity and pressure), but the only application of impedance in that area seems to be in the measurement of sound absorption [in the impedance tube method].
The concept of impedance should be able to be applied to thermal transfer as well, but my knowledge is deficient.

What is thermal resistivity of soils?
Thermal resistivity of soils is a measure of how well a soil can conduct heat. It is the reciprocal of thermal conductivity and is used to quantify the ability of a soil to resist the flow of heat through it. Thermal resistivity is an important parameter in geotechnical and geothermal engineering applications.
What is the soil's thermal resistivity?
Soil thermal resistivity is a measure of a soil's ability to resist the flow of heat. It is typically measured in units of degree-celsius per watt (°C·m/W). Lower thermal resistivity values indicate better thermal conductivity of the soil, allowing heat to flow more easily through it.
Is resistivity of a conductor temperature dependent?
A perfect insulator has infinite ohms of resistance.
When a sample of germanium and silicon having same impurity density are kept at room temperature then resistivity of both?
The resistivity of germanium will decrease with increasing temperature due to a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity, while the resistivity of silicon will increase with increasing temperature due to a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity. At room temperature, silicon will have a higher resistivity compared to germanium.
Does high resistivity have a higher number or lower number?
High resistivity corresponds to a higher numerical value. In the context of materials, resistivity is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current; materials with high resistivity, like rubber or glass, have larger resistivity values compared to conductive materials like copper or aluminum, which have low resistivity values.
If the diameter of wire is double what is resestivity?
Resistivity won't change. Resistivity is a material property that doesn't depend on the shape.
Do wires that have high resistivity have high conductivity also?
No. In fact it is the opposite. Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity so a high resistivity means low conductivity. peace.
What are the formulae of resistivity?
There is no 'formula' for resistivity. The resistivities of different conductors have been determined by experiment.
Can resistivity be negetive?
No, resistivity cannot be negative. Resistivity is a material property that indicates how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is always a positive quantity, even though some materials may have very low resistivity values.
What is the resistivity of deionized water and how does it compare to the resistivity of other types of water?
The resistivity of deionized water is high, meaning it is a good insulator. It is higher than the resistivity of tap water or seawater, which have more dissolved ions and conduct electricity better.
What is resistivity on what factor is depends?
Resistivity is a measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of electric current. It depends on factors such as the material's composition, temperature, and dimensions. Materials with high resistivity impede the flow of current more than those with low resistivity.
How are materials classified on the basis of resistivity?
Materials can be classified based on their resistivity as conductors, semiconductors, or insulators. Conductors have low resistivity, allowing electric current to flow easily. Semiconductors have resistivity in between conductors and insulators, and their conductivity can be controlled. Insulators have high resistivity and do not allow electric current to flow easily.
