British Dictionary definitions for resistivity

resistivity

/ (ˌriːzɪsˈtɪvɪtɪ) /

noun

Scientific definitions for resistivity

resistivity

[ rē′zĭs-tĭv′ĭ-tē ]

A measure of the potential electrical resistance of a conductive material. It is determined experimentally using the equation ρ = RA/l, where R is the measured resistance of some length of the material, A is its cross-sectional area (which must be uniform), and l is its length. It is measured in ohm-meters.
