resistivityElectrical resistance of a conductor of unit cross-sectional area and unit length. The resistivity of a conductor depends on its composition and its temperature. As a characteristic property of each material, resistivity is useful in comparing various materials on the basis of their ability to conduct electric current. As temperature increases, the resistivity of a metallic conductor usually increases and that of a semiconductor usually decreases. resistivity [‚rē‚zis′tiv·əd·ē] (electricity) How to thank TFD for its existence?

The new resins also offer barrier to oxygen and moisture plus unusual electrical properties: Volume resistivity is [10. In "Electrical Resistivity and Thermal Conductivity of Magnesium Alloy AZ91E by Contactless Measurement Technique," (03-050) a presentation by S. Laboratory measurements confirmed that the low resistivity values relate to the molten phase. |
