If conductor is cut half of its length will it affect its conductance?
Yes. If a uniform, homogeneous conductor is reduced to half of its length, then its conductancebecomes double, (equivalent to its resistance becoming 1/2 as great).
What is the change in resistance of wire when half of its length is inc by 2 percent?
If half of its length is increased by 2%, then its entire length is increased by 1%.In order to know how this affects the wire's resistance, we'd want to be able toassume that its composition and cross-section are constant along its length. Thiscould be a risky assumption, especially since the length was increased ... possiblyby stretching the wire, which would certainly affect the cross section.But without overthinking the situation and making myself nervous about it, lets justassume uniform composition and cross-section along the entire length, throughoutthe observation period. Then its resistance also increases by 1%.
What happens to the kinetic energy of a body if its speed is reduced to half?
If the speed of a moving body is reduced to half, its kinetic eneergy is reduced to 1/4 .
A lenght of cirular wire as a resistance of 1 ohms if its the diameter was double its resistance woul be.?
Its resistance would be half , 0.5 ohms is the answer.
Waves begin to feel bottom when water depth is?
One-half the deep-water wave length.
If conductor is cut half of its length will it affect its conductance?
Yes. If a uniform, homogeneous conductor is reduced to half of its length, then its conductancebecomes double, (equivalent to its resistance becoming 1/2 as great).
What happens to the power if the resistance of a circuit doubles and voltage remains the same?
the power will be reduced to the haflf because P=V2/R so when the resistance doubles the power reduced to the half of itsoriginal value
What happens to the resistance as the area increases?
Double the area means half the resistance. Resistance = resistivity times length / area. Resistivity is a property of the material only.
What is the length of day if the distance of earth to sun is reduced to half the distance is about 150 million km average to sun?
24 hours
What happened if you shortened a wire and increased the thickness?
Shorter: less resistance in proportion, so 1/2 length, half resistance, 1/3 length, 1/3 resisttance, etc. Thicker, less resistance in inverse-squared proportion, (it's the *area* that influences resistance), so 2 x diameter, 1/4 resistance, 3 x diamater, 1/9 resistance, etc. Try this: 1/2 length, 3 x diameter, gives 1/2 x 1/9 = 1/18 the resistance.
What happens to the radius of a circle when the diameter is reduced by half?
The radius is also reduced by half

If you doubled the load resistor in a wheatstone bridge. the load current would not be half as much Why not?
Because by increasing the load resistance, the total circuit resistance is reduced. This means with less resistance, there is more current drawn from the source. Doubling the size of a load resistor increases the load current.
What is one and one half reduced to?
It cannot be reduced.
If you reduced the size of a cube by one quarter would the volume be the same or different?
If you reduced the volume by 0.25 then the answer is evident. Your question is very vague... If you reduced the length of one side to 3/4 it's origional... volume decrease to 33/43 or 27/64 (under half) This is because volume is proportional to length cubed. If you reduced the area of one side to 3/4 it's origional... volume would decrease to 33/2/43/2 (about 65% origional) This is because volume is proportional to length cubed and area is proportional to length squared.
What happens to the kinetic energy of a body if its speed is reduced to half?
If the speed of a moving body is reduced to half, its kinetic eneergy is reduced to 1/4 .
What metals were used to make the British half crown?
It depends on the year. Up through 1919, it was sterling silver (92.5% silver), then in 1920 it was reduced to 50/50 silver and copper, and changed again in 1947 to a blend of copper and nickel, with all silver removed.
