Question
Conductors and Insulators

Answer

Resistance Resistivity
(i) The hindrance to the flow of electrons is called resistance. (i) Resistivity is the specific property of the material of a conductor.
(ii) The S.I. unit of resistance is ohm (Q). (ii) The S.I. unit of resistivity is ohm-metre (Q – m).
(iii) It depends on temperature, area of cross-section, length of conductor and material of the conductor. (iii) It depends on material of the conductor.
(iv) Resistance can be changed as it depends of external factor as well. (iv) Resistivity cannot be changed as it depends of internal factors.
