Abstract
A resistivity formula derived by Edwards (1965) is considered here. The form originally proposed by Edwards is confirmed. However, it is shown that the resistivity can be written as R= sigma -1 where sigma is the conductivity as given by the usual linear response formula and that the resistivity cannot be evaluated in the way originally suggested by Edwards. The reasons why meaningful results can be obtained in some circumstances is explained.Keywords
