The resistivity (a measure of electrical resistance) of graphite is (0.4 to 5.0) 10-4 ohm .
Question:
The resistivity (a measure of electrical resistance) of graphite is (0.4 to 5.0) × 10-4 ohm . cm in the basal plane. (The basal plane is the plane of the six- membered rings of carbon atoms.) The resistivity is 0.2 to 1.0 ohm . cm along the axis perpendicular to the plane. The resistivity of diamond is 1014 to 1016 ohm . cm and is independent of direction. How can you account for this behavior in terms of the structures of graphite and diamond?

I have been teaching college students in various subjects for 9 years now. Besides, I have been tutoring online with several tutoring companies from 2010 to date. The 9 years of experience as a tutor has enabled me to develop multiple tutoring skills and see thousands of students excel in their education and in life after school which gives me much pleasure. I have assisted students in essay writing and in doing academic research and this has helped me be well versed with the various writing styles such as APA, MLA, Chicago/ Turabian, Harvard. I am always ready to handle work at any hour and in any way as students specify. In my tutoring journey, excellence has always been my guiding standard.
