SUMMARY

The resistivity of pure carbon varies significantly depending on its allotrope, with graphite exhibiting a resistivity of approximately 3.5 x 10-5 ohm-meters and diamond showing a much higher resistivity of about 1.0 x 1012 ohm-meters. This distinction is crucial for applications in electronics and materials science. Understanding these differences aids in selecting the appropriate form of carbon for specific electrical applications.
