    The electrical resistivity of a sample:

    A)  is proportional to its length

    B)  is proportional to the area of cross-section

    C)  is inversely proportional to the length

    D)  is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section

    E)  neither depends on the length nor on the area of cross-section

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    The ratio of the intensity of the electric field\[(E)\]at any point within a conductor and the current density\[(J)\]at that point is called specific resistance or resistivity of the conductor \[\rho =\frac{E}{j}\] Specific resistance is the characteristic of the material of the conductor.
