1.

Define resistance or specific resistance and write a note on it.

Answer»

Solution :* "The electrical resistance of any object is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to its length L and inversely proportional to its area of cross section A".
`R prop(l)/(A)`
`therefore R=rho((l)/(A)) and rho=R((A)/(l))`
* Unit : SI unit of resistance is ohm meter `(Omegam)`
and some times it will be ohm centimetre `(Omegacm)`.
Note : IUPAC recommends the USE of the term resistivity over SPECIFIC resistance.
* In short, resistivity means resistance.
SI unit of `rho=R((A)/(l))""|Where, A=1m^(2)"",l=1m, R=rho`
`=((Omega)(m)^(2))/(m)=Omegam`
`1Omegam=100Omegacm`
`1Omegacm=0.01Omegam`
