    The document presents a table showing the resistivity, temperature coefficient, conductivity, and reference values for various materials at 20 degrees Celsius. Resistivity is measured in ohm meters and represents a material's ability to resist electric current, while conductivity is the inverse and represents ease of flow. The table lists values for common metals like silver, copper, aluminum, as well as other materials such as tungsten, iron, platinum, and semiconductors. The temperature coefficient indicates how resistivity changes with temperature.
