SUMMARY
The resistivity of conducting putty at room temperature is not widely documented, but a specific product from Ibotz indicates that a cylinder measuring 60mm in length and 20mm in diameter has a resistance of approximately 20 Ohms. This information can be used to calculate the resistivity using the formula ρ = R * (A/L), where R is resistance, A is the cross-sectional area, and L is the length of the cylinder. Users seeking precise values should refer to manufacturer specifications or conduct their own measurements.
