Talk:Table of resistivities

hey Josh Parris, I was going to put your edits back in after editing my older version, but I noticed they were unneccessary - as "copper (element)", "gold (element)", etc redirect to "copper", "gold", etc respectively. So its really an unneccessary complication. Fresheneesz 01:24, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

linearly related to temp or not
This page should contain information on which materials have resisitivites linearly related to temperature, and which are otherwisely related (if a relation is known). Fresheneesz 21:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Discrepencies and unverifiable numbers
I couldn't find any consistant numbers for many materials especially chromium which i looked up semi-extensively. Here are some numbers i found on various sites:

All of these numbers are mutiplied by the same power of 10 as is on the table already (unless its not on the table.. then.. whatever)

Redirect
I just put all those references in, and now I've seen the same table at Resistivity. I'm merging this one into that one. There's no point in this page unless the table gets much larger. Kevin 09:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
