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.
Does voltage drop and copper loss are same thing?
Voltage drop and copper loss are not the same thing, though they are related. Voltage drop refers to the reduction in voltage as electrical current flows through a conductor, primarily due to its resistance. Copper loss, on the other hand, specifically refers to the power loss (in watts) that occurs due to the resistance of the copper wire, calculated using the formula I²R, where I is the current and R is the resistance. While both concepts involve resistance, voltage drop focuses on the change in voltage, while copper loss quantifies energy loss as heat.
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.
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.............................................
Will increasing the conductor thickness increase resistance?
No. A thicker conductor will lower resistance.
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 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 happens to the resistance as the conductor is measured?
The longer the conductor the greater the end to end resistance.
