Is resistivity the same for all materials with the same length?

Yes, because the resistivity does not depends on the length of any materials. Resistivity is constant.-Ariel DUmancas-No. The resistance in different materials is different. For example, Copper has a low resistance to electricity compared to plastic. This is also one reason why copper is used instead of plastic in wires. Knowing the resistance of different material helps decide what material should be use for different objects (like copper for wires in plastics)


What combination of factors is most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals?

Resistivity is a constant for any particular material, and independent of that material's physical dimensions or shape. However, it does vary with temperature which is why resistivity is always quoted at a particular temperature. Variations in resistivity due to temperature change is the reason that the resistance of a material varies with temperature. In SI, resistivity is expressed in ohm metres.


What is BCS theory?

Bardeen, Cooper, Schrieffer - these three scientists gave the theory to explain about the reason for super conductivity of materials. Hence named as BCS theory. Superconductivity is a phenomenon in which certain substances at very low temperatures such as 3K or 4K their resistivity totally vanishes and become cent percent conductor. So named as super conductor But actually, accidentally found by H. Kamerlingh Onnes. He found mercury lost its resistivity totally at 4.2K.


Is book of Mormon in flemish?

No. It is available in Dutch but not Flemish. Cumorah.com speculates the reason why: "Containing few literary and vocabulary variations with standard Dutch, Flemish is unlikely to merit its own translations of LDS materials and scriptures as dissimilarities with Dutch are primarily phonological"


Why are different materials in different states at room temperature?

this is because the type of materials you have and the type of object you have. the reason for this is because, for example glass is room temperature because the air-con in your classroom is set at room temperature and the glass of your window contracts to the air con making it room temperature


Does fragrance oil affect burning the candle?

The answer is yes. The reason is that fragrance oils are combustible materials or flammable materials,


Should there be extra yarn while knitting?

If you are speaking of the completed piece, then yes. All amounts are approximate and there will be leftovers because of the variations in knitting such as tension or different needles. Any hand work materials guidelines are written with the "overage" in order to make sure the piece has enough to complete it. This is one reason that most knitters have some crochet skills. "Granny squares" are a great way to use up those leftovers.


What are the factors that affect resistance and their units?

Resistance is directly-proportional to a material's length and resistivity, and inversely-proportional to its cross-sectional area.In SI, length is measured in metres, cross-sectional area is measured in square metres, and resistivity is measured in ohm metres.In North-American units, for conductors of circular cross-section, length is measured in feet, cross-sectional area is measured in circular mils, and resistivity is measured in ohm circular mils per foot (although, for some strange reason, it is often written as 'ohms per circular mil foot', which doesn't make much sense if you apply unit analysis!).Note that resistivity is affected by temperature, so figures for resistivity are always quoted at specific (usual ambient) temperatures. So temperature indirectly affects resistance.


What was the reason for Roald Dahl to include villains in his children's stories?

Every book needs to have villain or else there isn't much of a plotline or a climax. But there are different kinds of villains. There are people like the Twits in Roald Dahl's book The Twits or there are villains like The Joker in Batman. There are so many different villains and so many different variations.


What is the difference between a kiln and an regular oven in you home?

No basic difference except an oven only goes to about 500 deg. while a kiln can get up to 3000 deg. For this reason they have to be made out of different materials.


Why can't Americans spell the word cheque right while Canadians can?

For the same reason Brits can't spell "humor" (humour?) right... Surely you realize (realise?) our languages are similar, but different. "Cheque" out the link below for a list of common spelling variations.


Why did people explore rainforest?

There are lots of different reason's: ~ To find materials to make shelter ~ To find materials to create clothing ~ To find food resources ~ To get crafting materials to make weapons/transport ~ To become more familiar with the surroundings ~ To Seek wildlife to Hunt and/or Farm ~ To Search for Unknown species ~ To located new Area's and find Land -Hope I Helped-
