  3. It gives the ease of flow of charges through a given conductor.
  4. The resistivity is also called the specific resistance.
  5. It is the resistance offered to a wire of unit length with a unit cross-section area.
  6. The specific conductance is the reciprocal of specific resistance.

Thus, the statement is false.
