About Electric Resistivity

Electric resistivity (ρ) is a fundamental property of materials that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is the reciprocal of electrical conductivity.

The SI unit of resistivity is the ohm-meter (Ω·m). Materials with high resistivity are good insulators, while materials with low resistivity are good conductors.

Common Applications:

  • Material selection for electrical components
  • Quality control in manufacturing
  • Research and development in materials science
  • Electrical safety assessments
  • Circuit design and analysis
