Two kink unstable magnetic flux ropes are produced in a carefully diagnosed laboratory experiment. Using probes, the time varying magnetic field, plasma potential, plasma flow, temperature, and density were measured at over 42 000 spatial locations. These were used to derive all the terms in Ohm's law to calculate the plasma resistivity. The resistivity calculated by this method was negative in some spatial regions and times. Ohm's law was shown to be non-local. Instead, the Kubo resistivity at the flux rope kink frequency was calculated using the fluctuation dissipation theorem. The resistivity parallel to the magnetic field was as large as 40 times the classical value and peaked where magnetic field line reconnection occurred as well as in the regions of large flux rope current.
