Spitzer resistivity is a classical model of electrical resistivity, , that is based upon electron-ion collisions.[1][2] It is given by
where is the ionization of nuclei, is the electron mass, is the electric permittivity of free space, is the Coulomb logarithm, is Boltzmann's constant and is the temperature in kelvin.
This resistivity model was proposed by Lyman Spitzer.[3]
Spitzer resistivity is commonly used in plasma physics.[2]
