Yes. The bigger the cross section, the lower the resistance.
Resistance R =p(L /A)i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor will be directly proportional to its length(L) ==> if the length of the conductor increases its resistance also will increase.i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A) ==> if the Area of the conductor increases its resistance also will decrease.
If two pieces of wire are made of the same material and have the same length but different resistance, then the one with the greater cross section area has the lower resistance.
For conductor the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the length (L) of the conductor, and the area of cross-section (A). When you stretch the conductor to increase its length, its area of cross-section will decrease. The decrease in area of cross-section can be found in the following way: The volume of the cylinder will remain same. The initial volume of the cylinder is = A Х L Suppose, the area of cross-section becomes A/ and the resistance becomes R/. Hence, the resistance increases 4 times. Hope this helps you, Keep posting and have a nice day!
The resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the area of cross section. Also it depends on the material of the wire with which it is made. So three factors. Length, area of cross section, material.
No. Resistivity is a material constant, defined for a standard size of material. For another size of material, it can be calculated. Resistivity is the same for any piece of material; resistance can change.

Resistance is inversely-proportional to the cross-sectional area of a conductor. For example, doubling its cross-sectional area will halve its resistance, while halving its cross-sectional area will double its resistance.Since the cross-sectional area of a circular-section conductor is proportional to the square of its radius, doubling that radius will reduce its resistance by one quarter, while halving its radius will quadruple its resistance.
No. Resistance does.
Resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area. so ,if the thickness of the wire increases, the area of cross-section increases and this results in decrease of the resistance. The resistance R = l p / A where R is the resistance, l is the length of the wire, p(rho) is the electrical resistivity of the material and A is the area of cross section. So R the resistance is inversely proportional to A the area of cross-section. If R increases
Cell constant(C) = Resistance(R) X Specific Conductivity(K)
If two pieces of wire are made of the same material and have the same length but different resistance, then the one with the greater cross section area has the lower resistance.
Resistance of a conductor is defined by the specific resistivity, area of cross section and the length of the conductor. R = rL/A, where R is resistance in OHMs, r is specific resistance, L length in mm, A is area of cross section in sq mm

Conversely, as the cross-sectional area of the conductor icreases, the resistance decreases, just as a pipe of large diameter offers less resistance to fluid flow than does a pipe of small diameter.
Temperature, Length of wire, Area of the cross-section of wire and nature of the material.
The resistance of a wire is the length divided by the cross-section area and the conductivity of the material. So for small resistance you need a wire with short length, large cross-section area (diameter) and a material with high conductivity like copper.
