electricity - If Resistivity = fracRAL, why does it not depend on dimension?



The formula for resistivity is: ρ=RAL where ρ is resistivity, R is resistance, A is cross-sectional area, and L is the length of the conductor.


We can see from the formula that A and L are involved, why then does resistivity not depend on dimensions?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
