What is the relationship between Resistivity and Conductivity?

Correct Answer: Resistivity : Resistivity is a measure of the resistance to the flow of electrons Conductivity : Conductivity is just the inverse of resistivity, σ = 1/ρ, where σ is conductivity and ρ is resistivity Example: Think of a pipe and water, the bigger the pipe, the easier water can flow and thus the lower the resistance
