Expert Answer:
Resistivity is the measure of a materials ability to oppose the flow of current . Resistivity of a conductor is a property of the material of the conductor. Unit of resistivity is Ohm meter, ? m . Resistivity of the material of the conductor changes with temperature.
Resistivity of copper is 1.7 × 10 -8 ? m at room temperature. There is nothing called resistivity of a circuit.
Following is the equation relating resistivity (?) and resistance (R) of a conductor of length (L) and area (A).
