प्रश्न
Define the term resistivity and state its S.I. unit. Which will have higher resistivity a conductor or an insulator.
उत्तर
The resistivity of a substance is the resistance of a wire of that substance of unit length and unit area of cross-section. Its S. I. unit is ohm × m. An insulator will have higher resistivity.
