INTRODUCTION
Resistivity of the material is restricted even at the ultimate zero due to the
conductivity and resistivity are limited and confined at ultimate zero. Resistivity's
Among the other types, metals possess high conductivity and low resistivity. In
What is Resistivity?
Resistivity is defined as the resistance of the area of cross-section and per unit
length. Resistivity is illustrated as the material property that repelled the flow of
electric current and charge. The SI unit of resistivity is termed as ohm metre

Derivation of resistivity
The resistivity of various materials focuses on certain factors which include length,
"L". Let C be the similar potential difference applicable across two slabs' ends. The
flow of current (I) across the slab is I/2. Now, resistance via every slab is

Cross-sectional area: Every length slab “L” possesses the area of cross-section
“A/2”. Resistance through every slab based on halving conductor area is

Consider an instance of watering a lot of the plants during summer. If a plant is not
supplied with enough water and sprinkled with a few drops, the plants may get
dried and die after some time (Riwayat, Nazri & Abidin, 2018). So, with more
resistance to enough water to the plants, less is the growth which means less
conductivity.
Factors affecting the resistivity of various materials
The resistivity amount depends on the asset's temperature, opposing the tables of
materials and usually setting the values at 20°C. Resistivity does not depend on
the shape and size. Resistance to the steel conductors basically maximises with
conductivity. On the contrary, the resistivity of the conductor rises with increasing
conductors as the good conductor possesses less resistivity whereas the bad
conductor possesses high resistivity. According to the ohm's law, the resistivity of
