Q:

What is the relationship between Resistivity and Conductivity?

Answer

Resistivity :


Resistivity is a measure of the resistance to the flow of electrons. 


Conductivity :


Conductivity is just the inverse of resistivity, σ = 1/ρ, where σ is conductivity and ρ is resistivity.


 


Example:


Think of a pipe and water, the bigger the pipe, the easier water can flow and thus the lower the resistance.
