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
How does the thickness of wire affect the resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
Is the wire gets thicker or thin when the resistance is less?
Resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
Why does the length of wire affect the resistance?
the longer the wire, the more mass the electrons have to travel thru. the more they have to travel thru, the more resistance. (and the resultant heat) the more electrically conductive the wire, the less resistance.
Why does a thinner wire have less resistance?
With a given material, the resistance is inversely proportional to its area of cross section and so the radius. That means wire becoming thinner the resistance increases not decreases as said in the question.

Short wire has less resistance Long wire has more resistance Thick wire has less resistance Thin wire has more resistance
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.
Is a wire thick with low electric resistance?
A wire that is thicker than another wire of the same material has less resistance
Is the wire gets thicker or thin when the resistance is less?
Resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
A thicker resistance wire produces more heat?
I'm not sure what you mean by "thicker resistance" wire? The thicker or more diameter of a wire the less resistance it has. A larger diameter wire would produce less heat. More resistance would produce more heat.
Does the diameter of the wire affect resistance?
Yes. Other things being equal, a thicker wire has less resistance.
How does the material of wire affect the resistance?
Basic: The larger the diameter the less resistance.Deep:R = p (L / A)The resistance is proportional to the length of the wire divided by its cross-sectional area. p is the resistivity of the material in question and varies greatly. Since area (assuming a circular wire) is A = pi * r2 the larger the diameter of the wire the lower its resistance will be.AnswerResistance is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter. So, if you double the diameter, you will quarter the resistance. If you halve the diameter, you will quadruple the resistance.
How does temperature affect resistance of a wire?
If you are asking if a hot wire has a greater resistance than a cold wire then the answer I would say is yes. Cold wires have always had less resistance than hot wires
The resistance of earth wire in ohm is?
5 ohms or less.
Do thicker or thinner wires have more Resistance?
Over the same distance the larger diameter wire will have less resistance that the smaller diameter wire.
Why does the length of wire affect the resistance?
the longer the wire, the more mass the electrons have to travel thru. the more they have to travel thru, the more resistance. (and the resultant heat) the more electrically conductive the wire, the less resistance.
