Question

Resistivity is the inverse of .......

• A. Resistance
• B. Conductivity
• C. Capacitance
• D. Current density.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Conductivity

The electrical resistivity is an intrinsic property that 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 $\rho$ (rho). The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm-metre ($\Omega -m$).
The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that conductor. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm $\Omega$.
