उत्तर
The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length l and inversely proportional to its area of cross-section A.
`R prop l` and `R prop 1/A`
`:. R prop l/A`
`:. R = rho 1/A`
where ρ is the proportionality constant and is called the resistivity of the material of the conductor.
Rearranging the above equation,
`rho = "RA"/l`
This is the expression for resistivity.
The SI unit of resistivity is ohm-meter (Ω.m).

Suppose there is a circuit consisting of only resistances and batteries and we have to double (or increase it to n-times) all voltages and all resistances. Show that currents are unaltered. Do this for circuit of Example 3.7 in the NCERT Text Book for Class XII.
The voltage - current readings of a certain material are shown in the table given below:
| Voltage (V) | 10 V | 20 V | 30 V |
| Current (I) | 2 A | 3 A | 4 A |
Study the table.
- State whether the conductor used is ohmic or non-ohmic.
- Justify your answer.
- State Ohm's law.
The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm’s Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes, E1 and E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.
Neglecting internal resistance of the cell use (> or < or =) to compare:
- the resistance in both the cases.
- the voltmeter readings in both the cases.
- the specific resistance in both the cases.
