Difference Between Resistance and Resistivity

1. The property of the conductor due to which it opposes a flow of current through it is called resistance. The resistivity of a conductor is the resistance of a conductor of unit length and unit area of cross section.

2. The SI unit of electrical resistance is Ohm. The SI unit of resistivity is Ohm-metre.

3. The resistance of a conductor depends on its length and area of cross section. The resistivity of a conductor does not depend on its length and area of cross section.
