11. Both extremes in resistivity impede the efficient functioning of ESPs. 12. High resistivity can generally be reduced by doing the following: 13. The moisture content of the flue gas stream also affects particle resistivity . 14. Resistivity Modeled As A Function of Environmental Conditions-Especially Sulfuric Acid Vapor15. In photoconductive detectors, the resistivity of the detector element is monitored. 16. Electrical resistivity , opacity, etc, can change up several orders. 17. The table below lists the resistivity of some common materials. 18. These elements have low electrical resistivity so they are used for wiring. 19. :As Algebraist said, resistivity and resistance are two diffeent things. 20. Geological materials are generally poor electrical conductors and have a high resistivity .
