Yes. The exact effect - whether it increases or decreases - depends on the material.

If the current increases what happens to resistance?

An increase in current will only affect resistance if it causes the temperature of the conductor to change. For pure metallic conductors, and increase in temperature will cause an increase in resistance.


Which common factor affect both resistance as well as resistivity and how?

Temperature is a common factor that affects both resistance and resistivity. An increase in temperature generally leads to an increase in resistance and resistivity of a material. This is because higher temperature causes more atomic vibrations and collisions within the material, hindering the flow of electrons and increasing resistance.


How does the temperature affect the resistance of various resistors?

resistance depends on temperature too.. we know that R=R0( 1 + rho (change in temperature) ) where R= present resistance R0=resisance at 00C rho= resistivity of a material now if the change of temperature is positive , means if the temerature increases then the resistance will also increase and vice versa


What increase and decrease resistance?

Increase in resistance means that when the resistance of the substance increase by application of some external sources like temperature etc. or when the flow of current through the substance gradually decreases then the resistances increases. Vice versa in case for decrease in resistance.Alternative AnswerResistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a conductor. Resistivity is, in turn, affected by temperature -so temperature indirectly affects resistance.These are the only factors that affect resistance. Voltage and current have no direct effect whatsoever on resistance. Current can affect resistance indirectly if it causes the conductor's temperature to increase.For AC circuits, 'skin effect', due to frequency, causes the current to flow towards the surface of a conductor which acts to reduce the effective cross-sectional area of that conductor. So, frequency can also indirectly affect resistance.


What do you expect of ohmic resistance as you increase or reduce temperature?

It depends. In general, pure metal conductors increase in resistance as their temperature increases; some alloys (e.g. constantan) are manufactured to maintain an approximately-constant resistance for changes in temperature. Materials such as carbon (and most insulators) exhibit a fall in resistance as their temperatures increase.


What material does resistance depend on?

Resistance depends on the material's conductivity, temperature, and dimensions. Materials with high conductivity exhibit low resistance, while materials with lower conductivity exhibit higher resistance. Temperature can also affect resistance, with most materials experiencing an increase in resistance as temperature rises. Additionally, resistance is directly proportional to the length of the material and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area.


Does the temperature of the wire affect the current?

Yes, the temperature of the wire can affect the resistance of the wire, which in turn can affect the current flowing through it. As the temperature increases, the resistance of the wire also increases, which can reduce the current flow.


How might ambient temperature may affect the resistance values you would measure in a circuit?

Ambient temperature might affect the readings of the resistance value you would measure because the resistance of some materials changes with the temperature.


For most conductors as their temperature increases their resistance?

The resistance of pure metallic conductors increases with temperature, because the resistivity of these conductors increase with temperature.


Five factors that affect resistance?

Electrical Resistance depends on three factors: Resistivity; Area; Length.Resistivity is the property of the matter. More Resistivity means more resistance.More Area means less resistance.More length means more resistance.R= Resistivity. Length/Area


Will the resistance increase when the temperature increases in a semiconductor?

NO. In a semiconductor the resistance decreases with increase of temperature. It is their natural behavior unlike conductors and insulators. If we decrease the temperature their resistance increases. At 0 degree kelvin all semiconductors will act like perfect insulators.


Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?

Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.
