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
