Electrical resistance is measure in Ohms. A function of voltage divided by current. It is also dependant on the length and cross sectional area of the conductor.

How do you convert conductivity to resistivity?

Oh, dude, it's like this: to convert conductivity to resistivity, you just take the reciprocal of the conductivity value. So, resistivity is equal to 1 divided by conductivity. It's like flipping a coin, but with numbers. Easy peasy, right?


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.


When the length is increased 2 times the value for resistivity will be?

The value for resistivity will remain unchanged (provided temperature remains constant). Resistivity is a property of the material. The resistance, however, will double. Remember that resistance is directly proportianal to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.


Would have the same resistance as a copper wire that is 4 m long and has a cross-sectional area of 0.066 cm2?

A wire with the same resistance as the given copper wire would have the same resistivity as copper. The resistance of a wire is dependent on its resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area. To calculate the resistance of a wire, use the formula R = (resistivity * length) / area; however, without the specific resistivity value, an exact value cannot be provided.

What is the difference between resistance and the resistivity?

Resistance is the value of a given wire in ohm but resistivity is value of the material with which that wire is made in ohm meter. R = rho * L / A Here rho is resistivity and R is resistance. L is the length of the wire and A is area of cross section


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.


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.
