 Resistivity can be calculated by using the equation given below.

Here we take,
Distance between the probes, S as0.2cm and
Thickness of the sample,w as 0.05cm.
From standard table f(w/S) = 5.89

For first reading

          =         6.0170 Ohm cm

       =           35.4 Ohm cm

For second reading

= 5.8428 Ohm cm

= 0.03441 Ohm cm

For third reading

= 5.6829 Ohm cm

= 0.0334 Ohm cm
