Electrical Resistivity

Electrical resistivity or specific electrical resistance or volume resistivity is a fundamental specific property that measures the electrical resistance of a material, that is how strongly it resists electric current.

Notation

It is commonly denoted by \(\rho\).

Formula

It is a fundamental property which is the constant of proportionality in the calculation of electrical resistance.

SI Unit
