A piece of wire is stretched such that its length increases and its radius decreases the resistance of the wire will tend to?

A piece of wire stretched such that its length increases and its radius decreases will tend to have its resistance increase. The formula for this is: R = ρL/A where ρ = resistivity of the material composing the wire, L = length of the wire, and A = area of the conducting cross section of the wire. It can easily be seen that as area decreases resistance gets higher. In the case proposed the wire length is not reduced as it is stretched to reduce the area, this increases the resistivity as well.

What is the difference between positive and negative temperature coefficient of resistance?

Negative temperature coefficient of resistance means that as the temperature of a piece of wire or a strip of semiconducting material increases, the electrical resistance of that material decreases.

Why would a crumpled piece of paper hit the ground before a flat piece of paper?

Because a flat piece of paper has a larger surface area and therefore more wind resistance. But in a crumbled piece of paper the wind resistance is less.


Why does a flat piece of paper fall slower than a crumbled piece of paper?

A flat piece of paper has a larger surface area, creating friction with the air, or more air resistance. There is more air surrounding the piece of paper, and this slows it down. A crumpled piece of paper has less surface area to create friction, meaning less air resistance. This causes it to fall faster.
