Define specific resistance and state its unit?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that resistance of an electrolyte is given as follows:
`R=rho.(l)/(A)…..(i)`
When `l=1cm and A=1cm^(2)`
Then `R=rho…..(ii)`
Thus, the specific resistance is the resistance offered by a conductor having 1 cm length and `1cm^(2)` area of cross-sectoin.
Unit of specific resistance is 52 cm.
