Resistance will decreases... Because R is inversely proportional to Area of the conductor.

Answer

If the conductor has a circular cross-sectional area, then doubling the diameter will reduce the resistance to one quarter of its original distance. This is because area is proportional to the square of the radius, and resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area.

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.


What happens to resistance when increasing cable length?

this is because there will be more collisions between atoms and electrons as there is a greater distance to travel. The longer the length of wire, the more collisions. It is like a traffic jam, the longer the road, the loner you are stuck in it for.


What happens to the current in a circuit if one resistance is doubled or halved?

P1 = V I1, Therefore, if P2=0.5*P1, thenI2=0.5*P1/V, or 0.5*I1and if P3=2*P1, thenI3=2*P1/V, or 2*I1In other words, current is proportional to power and inversely proportional to voltage.


What happens in a circuit if the voltage is doubled and the resistance is held constant?

The answer depends entirely upon the scenario. Are you dealing with AC or DC? Does your circuit contain passive components or both passive and active components?For example, if you a simply dealing with a resistive DC circuit, you can derive your answer from Ohm's law, V = IR. Rearranging for current, I = V/R, so if you double the voltage, the current is subsequently doubled.


When lines of force are cut by a conductor you have magnetic?

Presumably, you are asking what happens when a conductor 'cuts' lines of magnetic flux? If so, then a voltage is induced across the ends of that conductor.

What happens to the resistance of the conductor if the conductors become longer but the diameter stays the same?

If the length of the conductor increases while the diameter remains constant, the resistance of the conductor will increase. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor, so a longer conductor will have higher resistance. The diameter, however, does not directly affect resistance as long as it remains constant.


What happens to the diameter if the circumference is doubled?

The diameter of a circle is doubled if the circumference is doubled.


What happens to resistance when length of conductor is doubled without affecting thickness of conductor?

Nothing. Resistivity is a physical characteristic of a material. It's not affected by its shape, etc.

What happens to the circumference when the diameter of a circle is doubled or triple?

The circumference is doubled or tripled, respectively.


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 area of a circle when its doubled?

When the diameter is doubled, perhaps? Then the area is 4 x larger.

If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?

It is halved. coz voltage=current * 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.
