What methods would you use to test the resistance of a long and short wire?

By placing a voltmeter either side you can see how much electricity goes through the wire. This is because a voltmeter measures the difference in volts.

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
Does a short copper wire have more resistance then a long one?
No. Other things being equal, a long wire has more resistance than a short wire.
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.
Does a short thick metal wire or a long narrow metal wire have more resistance?
yes, Easy of flow of current increases with increase of area of cross section.
Which type of scissors would be better suited to cut a piece of metal one with long handles and short blades or one with short handles and long blades?
A pair of scissors with long handles would be ideal, because you can produce more torque when you close your fingers a further distance from the pivot point. In short: long handle, short blade.
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
Does a short copper wire have more resistance then a long one?
No. Other things being equal, a long wire has more resistance than a short wire.
How does the resistance differ between long and short wires?
Generally, the longer the wire, the more electricity will be lost because of resistance.
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.
Why don't AC input wires to a transformer just short circuit?
The resistance of the winding in the primary of a transformer constitutes a load. As long as there is resistance then there is no short circuit. A short circuit is considered no resistance which develops an instantaneous high current. That is why fuses and breakers are inserted into the circuit to open the high current flow under a short circuit condition.
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.
Does menu have a short or long vowel?
The word "menu" has a short vowel sound.
Is electric resistance greater in a short wire or a long thin wire?
Resistance is the restriction of electrical flow in a component/wire/etc. If you think of a short fat wire as a short freeway and a long thin wire as a quiet country road then the answer is easy to find especially if you imagine 1 thousand cars all trying to travel the distance at once
Is Astronaut is long or short vowel?
I would think it is a long but if you sound it out it can be both
Does satin have a long or short vowel sound?
The A has a short A sound. (A long A would be Satan.)
Does ran have a long or short a?
The word "ran" has a short vowel sound for the letter "a."
Does apple have a long or short vowel sound?
Apple has a short vowel (a). A long "A" would be as in acorn.
