Abstract
The electrical resistivity is obtained from a transport equation that includes the spin density matrix. The usual description in terms of spin-up and spin-down electrons is valid if the spin density matrix is diagonal; however, this cannot be true simultaneously for all electron momentum states. Quantitative results are given for liquid Pb and Bi.Keywords
