Question:
What is the difference between resistance and resistivity?
Answer:
Resistance is a property of most material objects—the resistance to the flow of electric current. Even conductors that are used specifically for the flow of electric current, like metal wires or traces within a circuit will have some amount of resistance.
On the other hand, resistivity is a state property of materials and compounds, it is constant in pure materials. Resistivity is the reciprocal of conductivity (C)-
R= 1/C
