Specific resistance

Specific resistance

Specific Resistance is the resistance offered by a unit cube (1 cubic cm or 1 cubic meter )such that the current enters and leaves it from its opposite faces.

                               Or                       Specific resistance is the inherent property of a  material.It is defined as the resistance offered by unit length and unit cross section of that material when a known

voltage is applied at its end.Mathematically $P=RA/l$ where P is specific resistance.

Resistivity - Specific electrical resistance
Specific airway resistance (R_aw/FRC)
Cost of transport - Specific resistance due to friction for a mechanism transporting mass
