Resistivity Values

AS level material below, potentially useful for coursework!

Here are some examples of resistivity. You could use these to predict the resistance or dimensions of a sample of the materials:

MaterialResistivity (ohm-m)
copper1·7×10-8
graphite800×10-8
resistance putty4·2×10-2
silicon2·3×103
Pyrex1012
