If you are talking about the total resistance in a circuit , it depends on the components in the circuit and the location of the cut.
If you are talking about a single wire, the resistance becomes infinite (or close to it) when the wire is cut.

What happens to resistance of the wire if the wire is short?
Short wire has less resistance Long wire has more resistance Thick wire has less resistance Thin wire has more resistance
How does the thickness of wire affect the resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
What is the cross sectional area of a wire?
If you slice a wire cleanly and then look at the cut end, you see a little circle at the end. The area of that circle is the "cross-sectional area" of the wire. The larger that area is, the lower the DC resistance of the wire is.
How does the resistance of a wire vary with its length?
resistance of wire increases with increases of length
When wire is thicker its resistance is?
When a wire is made thicker it's resistance decreases.
A piece of copper wire was cut into n equal parts these parts are connected in parallel how will the resistance of the parallel combination compare with the resistance of the wire?
The resulting resistance of the parallel combination will be the resistance of the original wire divided by n squared.
A wire of resistance r is cut into ten equal parts which are then joined in parrelel the equivalent resistance of the combination will be?
10 r

How does length affect resistance of a wire?
In general, the longer the wire the greater the resistance. The only time that this is not so is when the wire is a superconductor, in which case the resistance is always zero.
When a wire is made thicker it resistance?
When a wire is made thicker it's resistance decreases.
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.
Is a wire thick with low electric resistance?
A wire that is thicker than another wire of the same material has less resistance
