Solution
The correct option is
B
False
The resistance gives a measure of the difficulty the charge is facing to pass through the given conductor.
The reciprocal of resistance is called conductance.
It gives the ease of flow of charges through a given conductor.
The resistivity is also called the specific resistance.
It is the resistance offered to a wire of unit length with a unit cross-section area.
The specific conductance is the reciprocal of specific resistance.
Thus, the statement is false.
