Electric Resistivity Formula

The electrical resistivity is an intrinsic property that quantifies how strongly a given material opposes the flow of electric current.

Electric resistivity equals the reciprocal of the electric conductivity.

Formula

QuantityVariable["ρ", "ElectricResistivity"] == QuantityVariable["σ", "ElectricConductivity"]^(-1)
