Definition of resistivity in English:
resistivity
noun ˌrɪzɪˈstɪvɪtirɪˌzɪsˈtɪvədi
mass nounPhysics A measure of the resisting power of a specified material to the flow of an electric current.
Example sentencesExamples
- Measuring electrical resistivity in soil and rock turns out to be quite useful.
- In addition to their ease of processing, polymers possess favorable electrical and mechanical properties such as high resistivity, low dielectric constants, light weight, and flexibility.
- The lower sheet resistivity also reduces the current crowding, which would otherwise give rise to excessive non-uniform device self-heating under high DC operation.
- Water was drawn only when the measured specific resistivity was 18.2 M ohm cm, indicating that the maximal grade of purity had been reached.
- Electrical conductivity is the inverse quantity to electrical resistivity.
