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
What are factors that affect resistance of electricity?
Temperature, thickness, length and type of wire.
How does the thickness of wire affect the resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
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.
What is the resistance of metal wire?
the resistance is depends on the type of the metal and ith length
What type of resistance would exist for electrical timers?
none the resistance is in the wire not the timer
A wire replaced with the same type and size but twice as long as the original the resistance is what?
The resistance is doubled.
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
What is platinum thermometer?
It is a thermometer using the platinum wire as sensor (resistance thermometer); the resistance of the wire is proportional to the temperature. This type of thermometer is used under 600 0C.
What are factors that affect resistance of electricity?
Temperature, thickness, length and type of wire.
Does the type of wire make a difference to the circuit?
yes. If you use wire of certain resistance first the get the result and if u use other wire which is of more or less resistance then the voltage drop in the wire changes so the output also changes. Yes it does, but the difference may be inconsequential. The specific circuit in question and type of wire should be included for a specific answer.
How does the thickness of the wire affect resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
How does the thickness of wire affect the resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
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.
Explain how the resistance of a wire varies with its length?
The resistance of a wire is a measure of how difficult it is for electricity to flow through the wire. The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area and directly proportional to its length. This means that, all else being equal, the resistance of a wire increases as its length increases. There are several factors that can affect the resistance of a wire, including the type of material the wire is made of, the wire's cross-sectional area, and the wire's temperature. The resistivity of the material the wire is made of is a measure of how easily electricity can flow through the material, and different materials have different resistivities. For example, copper has a lower resistivity than aluminum, so a copper wire will have less resistance than an aluminum wire of the same size and length. In general, the resistance of a wire increases as its length increases because the electrons flowing through the wire encounter more and more obstacles as they travel through the wire. The longer the wire, the more obstacles the electrons must overcome, which increases the resistance of the wire. It is also important to note that the resistance of a wire is not a constant value, and it can change depending on the temperature of the wire. As the temperature of a wire increases, the resistance of the wire also increases. This is because the higher temperature causes the atoms in the wire to vibrate more, which makes it more difficult for the electrons to flow through the wire.
