what is the difference between resistance and resistivity???/

Dear Student,


Electrical resistivity (also known as resistivity, specific electrical resistance, or volume resistivity) is an intrinsic property that quantifies how strongly a given material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.
 

Resistance is the property of a conductor to resist the flow of charges through it. Its SI unit is
 

 

 

This is the major difference between resistance and resistivity.
Hope, this answer helps you.
Best wishes!!
