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.

Answer the following question.
While studying the dependence of potential difference ( V) across a resistor on the current (I) passing through it, in order to determine the resistance of the resistor, a student took 5 readings for different values of current and plotted a graph between V and t. He got a straight line graph passing through the origin. What does the straight-line signify? Write the method of determining the resistance of the resister using this graph.
