Resistivity of a conductor depends on
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → its material and temperature of the conductor
Resistivity (ρ) is a material property and is independent of dimensions, but varies with temperature as:
$\rho = \rho_0 (1 + \alpha \Delta T)$
Hence, resistivity depends on the material and temperature of the conductor.
