Reciprocal of resistivity is called _____.
- A
Resistance
- B
Inductance
- C
Conductivity
- D
Flexibility
Conductivity is inversely proportional to resistivity, such that
σ = 1/ρ = L/RA
Resistance is the property of a material to resist the flow of electric current, and it is defined as the ratio of voltage to current. Resistance is not the reciprocal of resistivity.
Inductance is the property of a conductor that opposes a change in current. It is measured in Henrys and is not related to resistivity or its reciprocal.
Conductivity is inversely proportional to resistivity, such that
σ = 1/ρ = L/RA
Flexibility is the ability of a material to bend or be bent easily without breaking. It is not related to electrical properties like resistivity or its reciprocal.
