Define electric resistance of a conductor.

Open in App

Solution

Resistance is defined as the property of a conductor to resist the flow of charges through it. The resistance of conductor is numerically given as the ratio of potential difference across its length to the current flowing through it.

What is the difference between resistance and resistivity in terms of definition ?

i.e. resistance is defined as the property of conductor due to which it opposes the flow of electric current through it.

Then how can we define resistivity in a similar way ?
