    1. Electrical resistivity is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current. Materials with lower resistivity like silver, copper, and gold conduct electricity better than materials with higher resistivity. 2. The resistivity of a material depends on its electronic structure and temperature. For most materials, resistivity increases as temperature increases. 3. There are three main factors that determine the resistance of a circuit: the length of the wire, the cross-sectional area of the wire, and the material the wire is made of. Resistance increases with longer length or smaller cross-sectional area, and varies significantly between materials.

    II. Picture Analysis: RESISTANCE


    Consider two water tanks, one with a narrow pipe and one The narrow pipe "resists" the flow of water through it even
    with a wide pipe. though the water is at the same pressure as the tank with the
    wider pipe.

    In electrical terms, this is represented by two circuits with


    equal voltages and different resistances.

    A. Read the article about Electrical Resistivity and answer the questions that follow.
    Electrical Resistivity

    The flow of charge through wires is often compared to the flow of water through pipes. The resistance to
    the flow of charge in an electric circuit is analogous to the frictional effects between water and the pipe
    surfaces as well as the resistance offered by obstacles that are present in its path. It is this resistance that
    hinders the water flow and reduces both its flow rate and its drift speed. Like the resistance to water flow,
    the total amount of resistance to charge flow within a wire of an electric circuit is affected by some clearly
    identifiable variables.

    First, the total length of the wires will affect the amount of resistance. The longer the wire, the more
    resistance that there will be. There is a direct relationship between the amount of resistance encountered
    by charge and the length of wire it must traverse. After all, if resistance occurs as the result of collisions
    between charge carriers and the atoms of the wire, then there is likely to be more collisions in a longer
    wire. More collisions mean more resistance.

    Second, the cross-sectional area of the wires will affect the amount of resistance. Wider wires have a
    greater cross-sectional area. Water will flow through a wider pipe at a higher rate than it will flow through a
    narrow pipe. This can be attributed to the lower amount of resistance that is present in the wider pipe. In
    the same manner, the wider the wire, the less resistance that there will be to the flow of electric charge.
    When all other variables are the same, charge will flow at higher rates through wider wires with greater
    cross-sectional areas than through thinner wires.

    Equation:

    A third variable that is known to affect the resistance to charge flow is the material that a wire is made
    of. Not all materials are created equal in terms of their conductive ability. Some materials are better
    conductors than others and offer less resistance to the flow of charge. Silver is one of the best conductors
    but is never used in wires of household circuits due to its cost. Copper and aluminum are among the least
    expensive materials with suitable conducting ability to permit their use in wires of household circuits. The
    conducting ability of a material is often indicated by its resistivity. The resistivity of a material is dependent
    upon the material's electronic structure and its temperature. For most (but not all) materials, resistivity
    increases with increasing temperature. The table below lists resistivity values for various materials at
    temperatures of 20 degrees Celsius.

    Resistivity
    Material (ohm•meter)
    Silver 1.59 x 10-8
    Copper 1.7 x 10-8
    Gold 2.2 x 10-8
    Aluminum 2.8 x 10-8
    Tungsten 5.6 x 10-8
    Iron 10 x 10-8
    Platinum 11 x 10-8
    Lead 22 x 10-8
    Nichrome 150 x 10-8
    Carbon 3.5 x 10-5
    Polystyrene 107 - 1011
    Polyethylene 108 - 109
    Glass 1010 - 1014
    Hard Rubber 1013
    There is a broad range of resistivity values for various materials. Those materials with lower resistivities
    offer less resistance to the flow of charge; they are better conductors. The materials shown in the last four
    rows of the above table have such high resistivity that they would not even be considered to be conductors.
