Resistivity = ???

[Guest Terabyte]

Hi...

 

Resisitivity of a material depends on length... cross sectional area.... electrical resistance....

 

am i right?

 

what's the equation?

 

Thanks Alot :D

R = rho * l / A

where rho is the specific resitance (resistivity? I don´t know the english term) of the material used, l is the length of your wire and A it´s cross-section.

no brackets or anything no?

You can put brackets wherever you want, it won´t change anything on the equation.

rho is the resistivity

R is the resistance
