The resistance is based on the cross sectional area. It is conceivable that you could bend a wire in such a way as to affect the cross sectional area, but unlikely.

Do bend in wire affect the resistivity?
no there will be no any affect on resistance of wire, when it bends
Do bends in a wire affects its electrical resistance?
Unless the wire is broken, a bent wire should still be able to conduct electricity as well as a straight one.
Examples of heating effect of electric current?
-kettle -electric heater that's all i have! :)) When a current passes through a wire, the wire heats up. This is caused by the conversion of electrical energy into heat energy. /the heat produced depends on the resistance of the wire.
Anything that slows down the flow of electric charge?
Resistance. Resistance can come from resistors, switches, and the gauge of the wire itself.
What property of wire increases when it is made longer?
Its length, obviously. But also its electric resistance.
Do bend in wire affect the resistivity?
no there will be no any affect on resistance of wire, when it bends
Is a wire thick with low electric resistance?
A wire that is thicker than another wire of the same material has less resistance
What is a wire that moves electric current with no resistance?
Its called a superconducting wire.
Do bends in a wire affects its electrical resistance?

If voltage is high will the resistance be high?
The electric resistance is related to the diameter and extension of the wire submitted to a determined voltage which will determine the electric current flowing into the wire.AnswerVoltage has no effect on resistance. Resistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a material (resistivity is affected by temperature, so temperature indirectly affect resistance).
What property of a wire increases when it is made thinner?
It's resistance to electric current increases.
Why does more current flow through the bulb when the reed switch was replaced with copper wire?
Copper wire has apparently lower resistance than the reed switch. The lower electric resistance, the higher electric current.
Would not reduce resistance in a copper wire?
Resistance will only be reduced by changing the thickness of the wire or the wire's temperature. It's apparent impedance can be changed by placing it in an electric field as well.
Why don't bends in a wire effect its resistance?
This is kind of sticky to explain. A flow of electrons is exactly like distance in geometry - the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Distance in wiring is increased resistance. In a circuit board 8 inches square, the fact that the wire has to make a bend has negligible effect on the resistance. In a spring reverb unit, the current is going through a tightly wound coil that is eight inches long - but actually represents about 30 inches of wire. That slows the current down to an extent because of the added resistance.
How does increasing the wire gauge from awg 22 to awg 26 generally effect resistance?
Resistance will increase.
What factors effect the resistance of a wire?
Its elemental makeup. Its' diameter and its' length.
