The basic relation to calculate resistance tells us:

R = rho*l/A

with

R = resistance [Ohm]

rho = resistivity [Ohm*meter]

l = length [m]

A = surface area [m^2]

So, the resistance (given a certain resistive material) merely depends on the ratio between the length and the surface area of a resistor. Resisotrs tend to be bigger if they have to dissipate more power, for mor heat needs to be lost.

Is resistance an intensive property?

No, it depends upon quantity of matter so is extensive property.


How we can find dimension of resistance?

The dimension of resistance can be found using Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals the product of current (I) and resistance (R), expressed as V = IR. The dimensions of voltage are [ML²T⁻³I⁻¹], and the dimensions of current are [I]. Rearranging the equation to solve for resistance gives us R = V/I, leading to the dimension of resistance as [ML²T⁻³I⁻²].


Does resistivity depends upon dimension of the conductor?

Yes, resistivity does depend on the dimensions of the conductor. The resistivity of a material is an intrinsic property, but the resistance of a conductor is also influenced by its dimensions such as length, cross-sectional area, and shape. These dimensions affect the resistance of the conductor through the formula R = ρ * (L/A) where ρ is resistivity, L is length, and A is the cross-sectional area.

Is resistivity depends upon dimension of conductor?

Yes, resistivity is dependent on the material of the conductor, not its dimensions. Resistivity is an intrinsic property of a material that influences its ability to resist the flow of electrical current.

Which is not a force weight air friction resistance momentum?

Momentum is not a force. Momentum is a property of a moving object that depends on its mass and velocity. Forces, such as weight, air resistance, and resistance, act upon objects to change their momentum.


Does resistance depend upon current?

The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
