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, 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. |
