Resistivity at a given temperature depends upon?

Resistivity at a given temperature depends upon?

Explanation
  • Resistivity (ρ) is a material property — it depends only on the type of material and its temperature.

  • It does not depend on the length or cross-sectional area of the conductor.

Formula to clarify:

  • Here, RR is resistance, LL is length, AA is area, and ρrho is resistivity.

  • Length and area affect resistance, not resistivity.
