प्रश्न
Find the expression for the resistivity of a material and state the SI unit of resistivity.
उत्तर
The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length l and inversely proportional to its area of cross-section A.
`R prop l` and `R prop 1/A`
`:. R prop l/A`
`:. R = rho 1/A`
where ρ is the proportionality constant and is called the resistivity of the material of the conductor.
Rearranging the above equation,
`rho = "RA"/l`
This is the expression for resistivity.
The SI unit of resistivity is ohm-meter (Ω.m).

State Ohm's Law. Represent it mathematically.
The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm's Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes E1 & E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills the tube 2.
