Resistance & Resistivity, An Explanation

Goes over an explanation of resistance and resistivity. Includes a worked example.

Resistivity is a property of a material that tells you how strongly it resists or conducts the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that allows the flow of electric current. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho). The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm-meter (Ω⋅m). Resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.

THANK YOUUUU! I REALLY UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE U REALLY EXPLAIN IT WELL!! GREAT JOB! YOU ARE THE BEST!

[DL-ksqi]

Finally, I like the way you teach without adding unnecessary information to confuse, thank you

[t.alshammari]

Thank you very very much. I'm an Arabic girl but I watch your videos to understand. I appreciate your explanation very much🌹🌹

[premiumedjr]

The best explanation I’ve ever saw about the theme. Thank you very much!

[TweakinKhole]

I can't thank you enough. Seriously, best explanation ever!

Im a 9th grade student and we have a homework for variations. I realized that this formula was a combined variation, so it peaked my interest cuz I'm also into physics, and even though I spent all night trying to figure out this whole ohms and resistance thing, It was worth it cuz I managed to present it in our homework and I learned something new and fun. Thanks for making this video!

I was always so confused by rho, this cleared it up. thanks so much!

[butterflies]

i really appreciate your teaching i truly understand its clear and concise i love itt well done sir:)❤

[AnOrdinaryDaisy]

i have a physics assignment due tomorrow and this video helped me
thanks :)

[jaredrossi]

This was extremely helpful for my Electrotech VET course, Thank u heaps

[davidmctaggart]

Thanks! Really good way of explaining different resistivities (40secs - 3:23secs)

[tummytime]

That was really so amazing and useful for me ! Thanks for this amazing explanation !

[miriamwanja]

Can you imagine i have exams tomorrow and I'm too lazy to read😪

[ProfShibe]

Awesome! Was learning about how toasters worked as mine peaked my interest and now I’m here 😂😂😂 physics is awesome

[fizakhan]

Thank u so much sir! You gave me the actual consept about resistance and resistivity. Love for teaching method.

[bashayeralblooshi]

THANK YOU, I got an A on my exam because of you!

[sameehasabeer]

nice sir and was very useful for my board examination preparations
