No. Resistivity is a material constant, defined for a standard size of material. For another size of material, it can be calculated. Resistivity is the same for any piece of material; resistance can change.

What change in resistivity if length is doubled?

Resistivity is a property of a substance, and doesn't depend on the dimensions of a sample. If the length of a conductor is doubled, then its resistance doubles but its resistivity doesn't change.


A cylinder if material is 10 cm and has a cross section of 2 cm if its resistance along the length b 20 ohm what will be its resistivity in si unit?

The resistivity of the material can be calculated using the formula: resistivity = resistance x cross-sectional area / length. Plugging in the values: resistivity = 20 ohm x 2 cm / 10 cm = 4 ohm cm. Since resistivity is measured in ohm meters (SI unit), the resistivity of the material in SI unit would be 0.04 ohm meter.


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.


If a wire of resistivity is stretched to thrice its initial length what will be its new resistivity?

The new resistivity of the wire will remain the same, as resistivity is a material property and is independent of the dimensions of the wire. The resistance of the wire will increase because of the increase in length.


Does resistivity depends upon dimension of the conductor?

Yes, resistivity does depend on the dimensions of the conductor. The resistivity of a material is an intrinsic property, but the resistance of a conductor is also influenced by its dimensions such as length, cross-sectional area, and shape. These dimensions affect the resistance of the conductor through the formula R = ρ * (L/A) where ρ is resistivity, L is length, and A is the cross-sectional area.

How can resistence of a wire be minimised?

Make the length shorter; make the cross section bigger; choose a material with a low resistivity.Make the length shorter; make the cross section bigger; choose a material with a low resistivity.Make the length shorter; make the cross section bigger; choose a material with a low resistivity.Make the length shorter; make the cross section bigger; choose a material with a low resistivity.


How do you calculate a cross-sectional area When all you know is resistance resistivity and length?

I think the equation you are looking for is Resistance (ohms) = Resistivity * Length / Area or R=p*L/A. This is the resistance of a circular wire with cross-section of A, length of L, and material with resistivity p. So to get area: Area = Resistivity * Length / Resistance.

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


How does resistivity vary if length and area are doubled?

if length is doubled then resistivity increases&when area is doubled resistivity decreases.

What is resistivity of material?

the electrical resistance of a conductor through unit cross-sectional area per length is called "resistivity of material"

The magnitude of the resistance of a wire depends on?

Temperature, Length of wire, Area of the cross-section of wire and nature of the material.

Which is a better conductor between a short wire and long wire?

Double the length is double the resistance. Resistance of a wire is the resistivity of the material, times the length, divided by the cross-section area.
