2. Formula Used:
3. Observation table:
Temperature(K) Voltage(mV) ρo (Ωcm) ρ(Ωcm)
4. Calculation:
Resistivity can be calculated by using the equation given below.
Here we take,
Distance between the probes, S as 0.2cm and
Thickness of the sample, w as 0.05cm.
w
From standard table f ( S ) = 5.89
at T = 298 K,
V 58.16
ρ0 = × 2 πS= 2 × π ×0.2=36.52448Ω cm
I 2
ρo 36.52448
ρ= = =6.2011 Ω cm
5.89
f ( wS )
Similarly, we calculate ρ for different readings of Voltage (V) with the change in
Temperature (T).
