Doubling the diameter of a circular-section conductor will quadruple its cross-sectional area and, therefore, reduce its resistance by a quarter. Doubling the length of a conductor will double its resistance. So, in this example, the resistance of the conductor will halve.
Work it out for yourself. The equation you will need to use is: resistance = resistivity x (cross-sectional area / length) Manipulate the equation to make 'length' the subject, and use 17.25 x 10-9 ohm metres as the value of resistivity.
Because it is made of pure wire with nothing beyond its length and interaction with its neighboring wires to create resistance
When Jockey is pressed the length of conductor increases due to elasticity. Since resistance is proportional to length the resistance of the conductor also increases. So the voltage drop per unit length alters from its standard value. It causes error in our reading.
Electrical resistance is measure in Ohms. A function of voltage divided by current. It is also dependant on the length and cross sectional area of the conductor.
what is the diference betwean calculated and maesured value
The wires in the resistance box are double folded to reduce their resistance value by a factor of 4, as resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire. This allows for more precise resistance increments to be achieved by varying the length of wire exposed in the circuit.
Any value upto that of the diameter.
Its length will be its diameter*pi.
The value for resistivity will remain unchanged (provided temperature remains constant). Resistivity is a property of the material. The resistance, however, will double. Remember that resistance is directly proportianal to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.

measure/360=arc length/circumference. C=pi*diameter, so you now have (known value)/360=(known value)/(pi*diameter). With only one unknown value, you can now find the diameter.
Of a circle: divide the length of the circumference by the value of Pi (about 3.14159). The answer is the diameter. Half of the diameter is the radius
Ways to reduce electrical resistance: increase the diameter of the conductor, decrease or increase the temperature of conductor (depending on its thermal characteristics), decrease the length of the conductor. A change in the material out of which the conductor is made can decrease resistance, too. And there is the phenomenon of superconductivity. In a simple circuit the resistance can be lowered by adding resistors in parallel. The total circuit resistance will then decrease. You can also reduce resistance by substituting resistors of lower value, or by adjusting a potentiometer, or pot, to a lower value.
Resistance will decreases... Because R is inversely proportional to Area of the conductor.AnswerIf 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.
Multiply the diameter by the value of Pi - and you'll have your answer !
Actually resistance is directly proportional to the length provided area remains constant. But as we stretch the wire only its volume would remain constant. So its area is to be decreased as length increases. V = pi r^2 * L Now we have R = K * L / pi r^2 Multiplying numerator and denominator by L we get R = K/V * L^2 So resistance is found to be proportional to square of length Hence as length gets increased by 2 times, its resistance value would increase by 4 times.
This appears to be about pi - π - the relationship of the diameter of a circle (the length of a line throguh the centre) to the circumference (the length around the outside) of the same circle. If you could straighten out the curve of the circle then it would be pi times the diameter. This is a little over three times the length of the diameter - 3.14
