The question can't really be answered without some form of limitation on what would be considered a "wire". A nylon rope, for example, has extremely high resistance, but most people wouldn't call it a wire.

The electrical resistance of a material is proportional to its length, and inversely proportion to its cross-section. So a long thin copper wire would have the greater resistance.

The resistance of thin wire is greater than that of thicker wire of the same length.since they have the same length,it implies they have the same resistivity.also R=(RESISTIVITY*LENGTH/AREA)

What are the Factors that determine resistance value of electrical material?

The factors that determine resistance are thickness, length, temperature, and the conductivity of the resistance of an object


What can resistance do?

U didn't clearify resistance in what aspect. If u mean electrical resistance,Resistance is phenomenum which describes the limitation of the flow of electric current in an electrical circuit. According to Ohms law (V=IR),the value of resistance is directly proportional to the value of voltage and inversely proportional to the value of current.That is,as the value of resustance increased,voltage also increases;also if the valur of resistance increases,the current reduces(as in I=V/R)


What is the resistance value?

Electrical resistance is measure in Ohms. A function of voltage divided by current. It is also dependant on the length and cross sectional area of the conductor.


What is magnetoresistence?

The change in electrical resistance produced in a current carrying conductor or semiconductor on application of magnetic field H.


How is electrical resistance decreased?

Ways to reduce electrical resistance: increase the diameter of the conductor, decrease or increase the temperature of conductor (depending on its thermal characteristics), decrease the length of the conductor. A change in the material out of which the conductor is made can decrease resistance, too. And there is the phenomenon of superconductivity. In a simple circuit the resistance can be lowered by adding resistors in parallel. The total circuit resistance will then decrease. You can also reduce resistance by substituting resistors of lower value, or by adjusting a potentiometer, or pot, to a lower value.


What is the use of resistance box?

The use of a resistance box or a "Decade Box" is to help calibrate instruments used to measure electrical values such as Voltage, Current, and Resistance. Without them you would not have a known value of resistance to use as a set point.


What is form factor in electrical?

form factor is defined as ratio between rms value and average value..


What does a megohmeter or megger test?

It checks resistance from a circuit or an electrical component to earth, to make sure it is electrically isolated. This must be a very high value of resistance, hence 'megohms'.


Where can you find the cable resistance value per feet?

In the National Electric Code Book or in an Ugly's Electrical Reference book.


How does electric resistance relate to energy transformation?

Power in a circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance, all other things being equal. Voltage equals amperes time resistances, so amperes equals voltage divided by resistance. Watts equals voltage times amperes, so watts equals voltage squared divided by resistance.


When add resistance to an electrical parallel circuit the amperage will?

The new resistance will draw an additional branch current, resulting in an increase in the supply current. Another way of looking at it is, when you add additional resistance, the overall resistance will reduce, increasing the value of the supply current.
