The product of resistivity and conductivity of a cylindrical conductor depends on

  • A. Temperature
  • B. Material
  • C. Area of cross-section
  • D. None of the above

Step-by-step solution

Resistivity (ρ) and conductivity (σ) are reciprocals: σ = 1/ρ. Therefore, their product ρσ = 1, which is a constant and does not depend on temperature, material, area of cross-section, or any other factor.
