**SI unit of resistivity is ohm-metre.**
**Explanation:**
Resistivity is a property of a material that quantifies how strongly it resists the flow of electric current. It is denoted by the symbol ρ (rho).
The formula for resistivity is:
ρ = R × A / L
Where:
- ρ is the resistivity of the material,
- R is the resistance of the material,
- A is the cross-sectional area of the material,
- L is the length of the material.
The SI unit of resistance is the ohm (Ω), which is equal to V/A (volt per ampere).
The SI unit of cross-sectional area is square metre (m^2).
The SI unit of length is metre (m).
By substituting the units into the resistivity formula, we have:
[ρ] = [R] × [A] / [L]
= Ω × m^2 / m
= Ω × m
= ohm-metre
Therefore, the SI unit of resistivity is ohm-metre (Ω·m).
