A$\frac{{GR}}{\rho }$
a Conductivity $\sigma = \frac{1}{\rho }$ .... $(i)$
and conductance $G = \frac{1}{R}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,GR = 1$ ..... $(ii)$
From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$ $\sigma = \frac{{GR}}{\rho }$

A thick wire is stretched so that its length become two times. Assuming that there is no change in its density, then what is the ratio of change in resistance of wire to the initial resistance of wire
Consider the circuit shown below where all resistors are $1 \,k \Omega$. If a current of magnitude $1 \,mA$ flows through the resistor marked $X$, the potential difference measured between points $P$ and $Q$ are ..............$V$
The resistance of the series combination of two resistance is $S$. When they are joined in parallel the total resistance is $P$. If $S = nP$, then the minimum possible value of $n$ is
