Resistivity

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013497",
  "term": "Resistivity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An intrinsic property of a material that quantifies its opposition to the flow of electric current, independent of the material's size or shape. It is the proportionality constant between the electric field within a material and the current density it produces. Resistivity, symbolized by the Greek letter rho (ρ), is measured in units of ohm-meters (Ω·m) in the International System of Units.",
