2.2.4 Resistivity
Assessable learning outcomes
There are opportunities for discussion of the factors that
determine resistance including temperature, leading to
superconductivity in some materials.
Candidates should be able to:
(a) define resistivity of a material;
(b) select and use the equation.....
(c) describe how the resistivity's of metals and
semiconductors are affected by temperature;
(d) describe how the resistance of a pure metal wire and
of a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor is
affected by temperature.

GCSE Background
From GCSE physics we already know that;
V = IR
So simply in this circuit the resistance of the bulb is 12.
This is a measure of how much the bulb resists the flow
of electrons.

But where does R and rho  come from and how are
they linked?

To understand this topic clearly we need to delve into
the structure of materials and their electronic
configurations.

We must think about the chemistry behind things and
the physical dimensions of materials…

Resistance 1
Ohm’s law:
The pd across a metallic conductor is proportional to the current through it,
provided the physical conditions do not change

Conductors
• Metals are generally known as conductors.
• Copper electricity cables is an example and
what we mean is that they conduct
electrons very well.
• Metals are conductors rather than
insulators as they have a unique "property".
• This "property " is that the outermost
electron on the atom is relatively loosely
held and can hop from atom to atom when
pushed!

from their respective atoms.

NB: Don’t need to learn these energies just be aware of the idea of the stripping away!
Mr Powell 2012

Modelling

So what we are talking about is an electron being ripped from its atom (home)
and then moving through the structure of the other adjacent atoms in a form of
drift or current.

This is an interesting motion where each electron gains some KE from the e.m.f.
Jumps to another adjacent atom losing the KE and then repeats the process over
and over….

Here is a simple example of how the process might work with boron

NB: Boron was picked due to simple structure – it is not a good conductor!

Modelling II
 Lets examine this rod of an elemental material
 You can manipulate the rod and see how many atoms might look.
 Then imagine how the electrons would move as on the previous slide
 The harder it is to strip away that “free electron” the higher the
resistance!
Mr Powell 2012
Index
Other physical factors…
e-

At any temperature above 0K atoms will jiggle
around and impede any flow of electrons

Only the electrons move as they are about 2000
times lighter than the atoms they are attached
to and pick up the e.m.f

In a Copper wire with 1 x
electron carriers
per m3 you would have to accelerate 1 x10-26kg's
of electrons.

This is quite a mass of electrons and the more
you have the more push you have to use overall
to get them moving!

Area and length must also effect such a problem

Resistance or Resistivity
 The formulae used to take into account how the physical
factors of a wire effect resistance is chicken or egg as
you can either consider using it from the R or the 
perspective.

Resistivity Formula
There are two main principles at play here;
 The resistance is proportional to length i.e. the
longer the wire the more resistance there is
 The resistance is inversely proportional to the area
of the wire i.e. the bigger the area the smaller the
resistance.

Simple Application….

Robert Oppenheimer was making a complex atomic bomb called “Fat Man”. He
needed to use a certain type of wire in his detonator circuits to connect to the primary
so that the overall resistance in that part of the microcircuit was exactly 0.0008 .
Then his timing would be just right to produce the maximum number of neutrons
possible and thus kill as many Japanese civilians in Hiroshima as possible. He had a
choice of copper, gold or aluminium wire to use in the circuit. However, each wire was
of a different thickness and length.

Without cutting the wires work out which one he could use…you need to do three
separate calculations using the following data;

Superconductivity
This is the property of a material which is at or below a
critical temperature Tc where it has zero resistivity .
Implications:
Tc
• Zero resistance
• no pd exists across a superconductor with a current
flowing
• the current has no heating effects
temp
Properties of a superconductor:
 material loses the effect above the critical temperature
Tc.
 If Tc is above 77K ( -196 C)
superconductor
it’s a high temperature
 The highest Tc max = 150 K - 123C

Finding the Resistivity of a Wire
 This new formulae has a simple characteristic which again would fit the;
y = mx + c principle
 One way of working out a resistivity of any material is to set up a circuit with a
sample of the substance. Measure the area of the wire several times and take
the average. Then measure the current flow through and potential difference
across the wire. This enables you to work out R. Then repeat the experiment
for several different lengths.

d) Thermistor
The resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases so if we
look at it from the VI perspective it is the opposite of a bulb!
Mr Powell 2012
Index
d) How do they work?
The exact conduction mechanisms are not fully understood but metal oxide NTC
thermistors behave like semiconductors, as shown in the decrease in resistance
as temperature increases. The physical models of electrical conduction in the
major NTC thermistor materials are generally based on this theory;
A model of conduction called "hopping" is relevant for some materials. It is a form
of ionic conductivity where ions (oxygen ions) "hop" between point defect sites
in the crystal structure.
The probability of point defects in the crystal lattice increases as temperature
increases, hence the "hopping" is more likely to occur and so material
resistivity decreases as temperature increases.
Only need the
outcome in red for
AS Physics
Mr Powell 2012

d) Temperature Sensors?
They are inexpensive, rugged and reliable. They
respond quickly to changes and are easy to
manufacture in different shapes.
An example could be made from a combination of
Fe3O4 + MgCr2O4 (metallic oxides)
A NTC thermistor is one in which the resistance
decreases with an increase in temperature.
The circuit shows how you can use the thermistor as
a potential divider. As the temperature changes
the division of voltage or energy will change. You
need the 5k resistor or the voltage would be that
of the cell a constant 3V.
A common use is the glass heat sensor in a car or
the temperature sensor in a conventional oven.
Mr Powell 2012

LDR
The resistance of a lightdependent resistor (LDR)
decreases as light intensity
increases. This is a similar
process to a thermistor
lux (symbol: lx) is the SI unit of illuminance and luminous emittance
measuring luminous power per area

Mini Resistivity Question….
A metal wire of length 1.4 m has a
uniform cross-sectional area = 7.8 ×
10–7 m2.
Calculate the resistance, R, of the
wire.
The wire is now stretched to twice its
original length by a process that keeps its
volume constant.
If the resistivity of the metal of the wire
remains constant, show that the resistance
increases to 4R.
