high-resistivity vs high resistivity

Both "high-resistivity" and "high resistivity" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "High-resistivity" is commonly used as a compound adjective to describe materials with high resistance to electrical current flow, while "high resistivity" is used when discussing the property of having high resistance to electrical current flow.

high-resistivity

This is a correct compound adjective commonly used to describe materials with high resistance to electrical current flow.

Use "high-resistivity" when you want to describe materials that have high resistance to electrical current flow. It is used as a compound adjective before a noun.

Examples:

  • The high-resistivity material is ideal for insulating electrical components.
  • The high-resistivity coating prevents current leakage.
  • We need a high-resistivity substance for this application.

Alternatives:

  • high-resistance
  • high-resistive
  • high-resistivity level
  • high-resistivity material
  • high-resistivity properties

high resistivity

This is also correct and is used when discussing the property of having high resistance to electrical current flow.

Use "high resistivity" when you are discussing the property of having high resistance to electrical current flow. It is used as a phrase to describe the characteristic of a material or substance.

Examples:

  • The high resistivity of the material makes it suitable for electrical insulation.
  • This material exhibits high resistivity to current flow.
  • The high resistivity of the substance is crucial for this application.
  • In principle, calibration is carried out using dry air (taking into account atmospheric pressure) and extremely pure water (twice distilled and/or micro-filtered with extremely high resistivity > 18 MΩ).
  • In exceptional cases where the resistivity of dust is high, the BAT-AEL could be higher, up to 30 mg/Nm3, as the daily average value.

Alternatives:

  • high resistance
  • high resistance to current flow
  • high electrical resistivity
  • high resistive properties
  • high resistivity level
