How does resistivity vary if length and area are doubled?

if length is doubled then resistivity increases&when area is doubled resistivity decreases.


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 the length and area of cross section both are doubled then its resistance?

The answer depends on whether the cross sectional radius/diameter are doubles or the cross sectional area is doubled.


Does the resistance of a conductor incfrease by any measure when the conductor is in doubled in length?

The resistance is directly proportional to the length of conductor and inversely proportional to area of the cross section.If the length is doubled then the resistance will double.Resistance=rho*l/arho=resistivity of the material (Ohms/m) and depends on the material used for the wirel=length of the wirea= area of the cross section of the wire.

What change in resistivity if length is doubled?

Resistivity is a property of a substance, and doesn't depend on the dimensions of a sample. If the length of a conductor is doubled, then its resistance doubles but its resistivity doesn't change.


What happens to the area of a rectangle if one side is doubled?

Area = length*width new Area = 2 * length * width Area is doubled


If the length of a square is doubled how is the area affected?

The Area of a square can be written as it's side length^2, orA = s^2if the side length is doubled, then s' is 2s.A' = (s')^2A' = (2s)^2A' = 4s^2 = 4*AWhen the side length is doubled, the area increases by a factor of 4


What is the Change in resistance of wire when its length is double?

Assuming the wire follows Ohm's Law, the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length therefore doubling the length will double the resistance of the wire. However when the length of the wire is doubled, its cross-sectional area is halved. ( I'm assuming the volume of the wire remains constant and of course that the wire is a cylinder.) As resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area, halving the area leads to doubling the resistance. The combined effect of doubling the length and halving the cross-sectional area is that the original resistance of the wire has been quadrupled.


When the diameter of a wire is doubled its resistance becomes .?

When the diameter of a wire is doubled, its cross-sectional area increases by a factor of four. Resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area, so the resistance would decrease by a factor of four.
