What's the difference between resistivity and resistance?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Resistivity is a measure of how well a particular substance or material opposes an electric current, whereas resistance measures how well a particular component in an electrical network resists an electric current.

So we can say that a resistor made of iron has a resistance of 9 ohm, and that iron has a resistivity of 1.0×10-7 (ohm×m). Notice that resistanse and resistivity is measured in different units.
 
thank you this is a great explanation
