The reciprocal of resistivity is called:
Correct answer: C. Conductivity
- A. Resistance
- B. Inductance
- C. Conductivity
- D. Flexibility
Explanation
Conductivity is the measure of a material's ability to conduct electric current. It is the reciprocal of resistivity.The higher the conductivity, the better the material is at allowing the flow of electric current

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
