Anisotropic resistivity

Anisotropic resistivity refers to a property of certain materials where their ability to conduct electricity varies depending on the direction of current flow. In such materials, electricity moves more easily in some directions and more slowly in others, due to differences in their internal structure or atomic arrangement. This directional dependence affects how electrical devices and circuits are designed and how materials behave under electrical stress. Recognizing anisotropic resistivity is important in fields like electronics, geophysics, and materials science for optimizing performance and understanding material properties.
