Insert the information in the form and the calculator will determine the electrical resistivity.

What is the electrical resistivity?

The electrical resistivity is a fundamental property of a material that measures how strongly it resists electric current. It is represented by the greek letter ρ. The electrical resistivity unitis hom-meter.

How to calculate electrical resistivity?

To calculate electrical resistivity you should use the following formula:
ρ = R * (A / I)
where:
ρ = resistivity
R = resistance
A = area
I = length of the conductor

Why use electrical resistivity?

The electrical resistivity is used in order to simultaneously detect lateral and vertical changes in subsurface electrical properties.
