No. Other things being equal, a long wire has more resistance than a short wire.

Does long wire have a lower or higher resistance than short wire?

A long piece of wire will have more resistance in it than a shorter one of the same material.


Will a short thick metal wire have better resistance compared to a long narrow metal wire?

"Better" depends on how much resistance you need for your circuit design.A short thick wire will have less resistance than a long thin wire of the same substance.Whether that's better or worse depends on how you plan to use the wire.


What happens to the current of the wire when the length increases?

resistance is directly proportional to wire length and inversely proportional to wire cross-sectional area. In other words, If the wire length is doubled, the resistance is doubled too. If the wire diameter is doubled, the resistance will reduce to 1/4 of the original resistance.


When a wire is smaller the resistance increases What happens to the electrical current?

What happens to the current in a filament is replaced by a longer wire?

Which is a better conductor between a short wire and long wire?

Double the length is double the resistance. Resistance of a wire is the resistivity of the material, times the length, divided by the cross-section area.


Does a long wire have more resistance than a short wire?

A longer wire has a higher resistance, because there are more particles for the electrons going around to "hit", and therefore be slowed down from.
