Resistivity

Resistivity is a characteristic property of the conductor’s material that measures the extent to which the material opposes the flow of current. It is denoted by the Greek letter “rho”. Electrical resistivity, also known as specific resistance, depends on the nature of the material of the conductor and is unaffected by its dimensions.

The potential difference across the filament of a light-bulb is maintained at a constant value while equilibrium temperature is being reached. The steady-state current in the bulb is only one-tenth of the current drawn by the bulb when it is first turned on.

Review. When a straight wire is warmed, its resistance is given by R = R0,[1 + a(T T0)] according to Equation 27.20, where a is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. This expression needs to be modified if we include the change in dimensions of the wire due to thermal expansion. For a copper wire of radius 0.100 0 mm and length 2.000 m, find its resistance at 100.0C, including the effects of both thermal expansion and temperature variation of resistivity. Assume the coefficients are known to four significant figures.
