Now, when l = 1 and A = 1, R =  .

So specific resistance or resistivity of a material may be defined as the resistance of a

specimen of the material having unit length and unit cross‐section. Hence, specific
resistance is a property of a material and it will increase with the increase of
temperature, but will not vary with the dimensions (length, cross‐section) of the
