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.


Electrical resistance in a wire depends on the wire's?

It's dependent on the wire's composition. That is, what material it is made of. <<>> The electrical resistance in a wire depends on the wire's length and cross sectional area.


What kind of wire would have the greatest electrical resistance?

Rubber wire!!!!


Does a longer wire equal resistance?

Wire is not equal to resistance. If you have two pieces of wire with the same thickness, composition, and temperature, the longer piece has higher electrical resistance.


Oxidized wire causes what?

increased electrical resistance


A wire that is what would have the greatest electrical resistance?

An insulator?


What type of resistance would exist for electrical timers?

none the resistance is in the wire not the timer

electrical resistance


What kind of energy could resistance in an electrical wire be converted to?

Thermal


When a wire is smaller the resistance increases What happens to the electrical current?

increase


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.
