PHY 102 Current Electricity Objective Question

Question

What is conductivity (σ) in relation to resistivity (ρ)?
Options
A σ = ρ
B σ = 1 / ρ
Correct Answer
C σ = ρ^2
D σ = 1 / ρ^2
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 5 defines, "Conductivity, σ, is the reciprocal of the resistivity, that is σ = 1 / ρ".

Hint

These two properties are inversely related.
