Electrical resistivity is a property of materials and is different from electrical resistance which is a property of a component. Resistivity is also known as Specific Electrical Resistance or Volume Resistivity. Resistivity can also be defined as the inverse of the conductivity of a material - Ï = 1 / Ï.It is a measure of how a material opposes the flow of electric current. The SI unit of resistivity is ohm meter (Ï.m).

A rated or named value, stating the current that a component, circuit, device, piece of equipment, system consumes, produces, or safely tolerates, when used in a given manner. For example, it may be a rating of the current drawn expressed in RMS amperes after a device is turned on and warmed up. The actual value, or interval of values, may not coincide with this number. Also called nominal current.
2.Current, present, prevailing, prevalent refer to something generally or commonly in use. That which is current is in general circulation or a matter of common knowledge or acceptance: current usage in English. Present refers to that which is in use now; it always has the sense of time: present customs. That which is prevailing is that which has superseded others: prevailing fashion.
