1 Resistance- Resistance of conductor is a physical property of conductor which resists the flow of charge. Resistivity_ Resistivity of a substance is the physical property of substance whuch have particular dimensions 2 Resistance is donated by R. Resistivity is denoted as (rho). 3 S I unit of resistance of Ohms S I unit of Resistivity is ohms-metre

Resistance Resistivity
Resistance is the physical property of a substance because of which it opposes the flow of current i.e. electrons. Resistivity is the physical property of a particular substance which is having particular dimensions.
Resistance is directly proportional to the length and temperature while it is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the material. Resistivity is only proportional to the nature and temperature of the particular material.

R

ρ

R = V/I or,
R = ρ(L/A)

V = Voltage, I = Current, ρ = Resistivity

ρ = (R×A)/L

R = Resistance, L= Length, A = Cross-sectional area
The SI unit of resistance is Ohms. The SI unit of resistivity is Ohms-meter.
The property of resistance is used in several places like heaters, fuses, sensors, etc. Electrical resistivity measurement is used as a quality control test for calcareous soil.
