Conductivity to Resistivity Calculator

Convert between electrical conductivity and resistivity.

Resistivity (Ω·m) 0

Formula: ρ = 1 ÷ σ

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Conductivity = 59,600,000 S/m

4. Resistivity = 0Ω·m

Did we solve your problem today?

Resistivity and conductivity are reciprocals describing how a material conducts.

The math behind it

ρ = 1 ÷ σ. Good conductors have high conductivity and low resistivity.

Copper σ = 5.96 × 10⁷ S/m → ρ ≈ 1.68 × 10⁻⁸ Ω·m.

Resistance vs resistivity?

Resistivity is a material property; resistance also depends on size and shape.
