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, is resistance, is length, is area, and is resistivity.
-
Length and area affect resistance, not resistivity.
