All conductors have some amount of resistance associated with them. There is voltage drop along the length of a conductor because the potential energy of the voltage is lost to heat losses (I^2 *R) due to this resistance. The more resistance, the more voltage drop. The current is set at a given voltage and power level.

What is the meaning of a good conducter of electricity?
A good conductor will pass electricity with little or no resistance. Resistance will cause the voltage to drop as the current increases. The least resistance will cause the least drop in voltage and is therefore a good conductor.
Do conductors have low resistance?
Conductors have low resistance. Recall Ohm's law. The higher the conductor resistance, the greater the voltage drop along the conductor, and the less voltage that is available for the load. The conductor resistance is a resistance in series with the load. Also, higher conductor resistance results in more electrical power being converted into heat, warming up the conductors. This is calculated with the formula P=I2R. The greater the resistance, the greater the power wasted heating the conductors.
The voltage drop in each resistance is?
V=IR by ohms law. Voltage across the resistor is the product of current flowing and resistance of the conductor at constant temperature.
If A conductor has a resistance of 0.8 ohms what will happen to its resistance if the temperature is decreased?
The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the resistivity of the conductor. since the resistivity of a conductor is decreases with decrease in temperature hence the resistance.
What do you mean by heating effect of current?
Current flowing through any conductor encounters resistance in that conductor. This resistance produces heat. (Think of tires on a car after driving on the highway. Smooth trip, but a small amount of friction (resistance) is inevitable.
What affects the resistance of an electric conductor?
The material from which the conductor is made, the length of the conductor, the diameter of the conductor and the temperature of the conductor are all things that impact its resistance.
Will increasing the conductor thickness increase resistance?
No. A thicker conductor will lower resistance.
What is volts drop?
the voltage drop means whenever the conductor passing through the supply voltage, according to the resistivity property to reduces the some amount of voltage that drop is known as voltage drop for example the resistance is used to drop the voltage to the circuit.............................................
What factors effect the resistance of a conductor?
Factors affecting the resistance of a conductor include the material from which it is made, its length, its cross-sectional area, and its temperature.
What happens to the resistance as the conductor is measured?
The longer the conductor the greater the end to end resistance.
What happens to the resistance of a conductor when the length of the conductor is reduced to half?
If the length of the conductor is halved, the resistance of the conductor also decreases by half. This is because resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. Shortening the length leads to fewer collisions between electrons and reduces the overall resistance.
What is the difference between conductor resistance and insulation resistance?
The resistance of a conductor is relatively low while an insulator should have very high resistance. The former is used to transmit electricity and the latter is designed to inhibit flow of electricity.
