Why does the electrical resistivity of a conductor does not depend on its dimensions?

resistivity and resistance are two diff. things...........resistance depends on length and thickness resisitivity too depends on the area and length resistivity=resistance*area/length


What are the factors affecting the resistance of conductors?

Conductor resistance = Conductor resistivity * Length of conductor / Cross sectional area of conductor. So. It is directly proportional to material & conductor length. And inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of conductor.


If A conductor has a resistance of 0.8 ohms what will happen to its resistance if the temperature is decreased?

The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the resistivity of the conductor. since the resistivity of a conductor is decreases with decrease in temperature hence the resistance.


Does every different conducting substance have a unique resistivity?

Please note that resistivity also depends on temperature.In the most general case, the answer is definitely NO; all superconductors have the same resistivity, namely zero. Other than superconductors, take a look at a table with some typical resistivity values. It would seem quite obvious that for a given temperature: * Two different substances will, in general, have different resistivities. * In practice, in some cases the difference in resistivity might be too small to reliably measure. * It should be possible to find two substances that have the same resistivity at a very specific temperature - since the temperature-dependence will vary from one material to another. * Likewise, it should be possible to design a mix of two substances, which exactly matches that of another, given, substance.


How to reduce tower footing resistance?

1. Use of short length radial conductors bonded at the injection point. rather than a single long length conductor. This produces the effect of having a number of conductors in parallel. 2. Terminating radial conductors with vertical electrodes. This measure is more effective in low to medium soil resistivity. 3. Using large bending radii when changing the direction of horizontal conductors. Sharp bends tend to increase the inductance. 4. The use of earth enhancing compounds to improve the soil resistivity in the proximity of the conductors which will reduce the tower footing resistance

For most conductors as their temperature increases their resistance?

The resistance of pure metallic conductors increases with temperature, because the resistivity of these conductors increase with temperature.


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.


The resistance of a wire depends on the?

The length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity. As resistivity changes with temperature, temperature indirectly affects resistance.


What are the formulae of resistivity?

There is no 'formula' for resistivity. The resistivities of different conductors have been determined by experiment.


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 substances classified on the basis of resistivity?

Substances are classified based on their resistivity as conductors, insulators, or semiconductors. Conductors have low resistivity and easily allow the flow of electric current. Insulators have high resistivity and inhibit the flow of electric current. Semiconductors have resistivity values between conductors and insulators, making them suitable for controlling the flow of current in electronic devices.


Is the Reactance of aluminum conductors the same of copper conductors?

No, the reactance of aluminum conductors is not the same as copper conductors. Aluminum has a higher resistivity than copper, which results in different reactance values for the two materials. The reactance of a conductor depends on its material properties and dimensions.


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.


Five factors that affect resistance?

Electrical Resistance depends on three factors: Resistivity; Area; Length.Resistivity is the property of the matter. More Resistivity means more resistance.More Area means less resistance.More length means more resistance.R= Resistivity. Length/Area


Water resistivity depends on?

Several factors influence water resistivity. Some of the most important are 1) the concentration of ions in the water; 2) the mobility of the ions in the water (smaller ionic radius ions tend to decrease water resistivity more than larger ionic radius ions); 3) the oxidation state of the ions; and 4) the temperature of the water.


What is resistivity and what factor does it depend?

Electrical resistivity (also known as resistivity, specific electrical resistance, or volume resistivity) quantifies how strongly a given material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the movement of electric charge. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho). The SI unit of electrical resistivity is theohm⋅metre (Ω⋅m)It defined as resistance offerde by a unit length and cross section area conductor.It depends on material used.it depends on relexation time and temperature.


Does electrical resistance depend on temperature and bias voltage?

Electrical resistance depends on the temperature but not the biased voltage.AnswerIt's resistivity that can be affected by temperature, which means that resistance is indirectly affected by temperature.
