Build a circuit with wires, and a battery (no resistor/light bulb).
When you've seen what happens, click + "Wire resistivity" and increase the resistivity.

Please answer the questions below.

Question 2.1

Write a definition of resistivity based on what you discovered in your investigation.

Question 2.2

What happens to a circuit (with low resistivity wires) when there is no resistor? Why?
