For a cylindrical conductor, the product of its resistivity and conductivity depends upon
Options
- Amaterial
- Bcross-sectional area
- Ctemperature
- Dno physical parameters, being identically equal to
Correct answer
D. no physical parameters, being identically equal to
Step-by-step solution
Resistivity is denoted by and conductivity is denoted by .
By definition, conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity, i.e., .
The product of resistivity and conductivity is .
Since the product is a dimensionless constant equal to , it does not depend on any physical parameters such as material, cross-sectional area, or temperature.
