Difference Between Resistance and Resistivity
| Sl. No. | Resistance | Resistivity |
| 1 | The electrical resistance of an object is a measure of its opposition to the flow of electric current. | Resistivity is the characteristic property of the material by which it resists the amount of current through it. |
| 2 | Resistance is directly proportional to the length and temperature while it is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the material. | Resistance is only proportional to the temperature of the conductor. It also depends on the nature of the material of the conductor. |
| 6 | Resistance depends on the dimensions of the material, like length, area of cross-section | Resistivity is independent of the dimensions of material |
