Question
Write the formula of resistivity
Solution
Resistance R of a conductor depends on the length ‘l’ and area of cross section ‘A’ of the conductor
`R alpha l`
and `R alpha l/A`
`:. R alpha l/A`
`:. R = rho 1/A` ...(ρ is constant)
where ρ is called resistivity of the conductor.

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.
