A powder called 'Ferrite' that is tightly compressed into the resistor. It's level of electrical conductivity changes as the compression rate changes - so the principle is simple. Happy to help. 'Matt

If resistor X has the same length and is made of the same material as resistor Y but has twice the diameter. Resistor X has the blank resistance of resistor Y?

R = r*L/A where: R = resistance r = material resistivity L = length A = area Since you are doubling the diameter, you are increasing the area by a factor of 4, so Y will have 1/4 the resistance of X.

Is it true that the higher a resistance value the higher the voltage drop?

Greater value resistor will absorb more voltage than smaller value. The more voltage absorb with same value current flow, the larger body mass resistor will require. Body size depends on type of resistor (material resistor is made of).

Does resistor is a negative coefficient of temperature?

Actually it depends on the material from which the resistor is made, well in general for all practical purposes we choose a material with positive temperature coefficient as we deliberately want to add a resistance to the circuit. But if we come across some resistors which are made up of materials like Glass, Ceramics, Semiconductors , have negative temperature coefficients (practically not used)
