noun
- the electrical property of a material that determines the resistance of a piece of given dimensions. It is equal to RA/l , where R is the resistance, A the cross-sectional area, and l the length, and is the reciprocal of conductivity. It is measured in ohms ÒÏ Former namespecific resistance
- the power or capacity to resist; resistance
resistivity
/ °ùŧ′zIJõ-³Ùı¹â€²Ä-³Ùŧ /
- A measure of the potential electrical resistance of a conductive material. It is determined experimentally using the equation ÒÏ = RA/l, where R is the measured resistance of some length of the material, A is its cross-sectional area (which must be uniform), and l is its length. It is measured in ohm-meters.
