R1.1 RESISTIVITY (ρ) The resistivity, ρ, is a material constant. The higher the resistivity in the resistor material, the higher its resistance. The connection can be described as: R = resistancel = conductor lengthA = conductor area. Depending on what units we express l and A in we get different units of ρ. A common
