The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to several different factors.
Here is a list of some of them:
- the cross-sectional area or thickness of the conductor;
- the overall length of the conductor;
- the resistivity of the material from which the conductor has been made - note that this is often dependant on its actual temperature;
- the actual temperature the conductor reaches after a steady electric current has been passing through it for sufficient time for everything to stabilize.
What else can I help you with?
State ohms law?
Ohm's Law states that the current through the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between its ends provided its temperature and other physical conditions remain constant
What is blood flow directly proportional to?
Blood flow is directly proportional to blood pressure, vessel diameter, and heart rate. When these factors increase, blood flow also increases, and vice versa.
How superconductivity relates to ohm's law?
Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it and inversely proportional to its resistance. Superconductivity is a property observed in certain materials where they exhibit zero electrical resistance below a critical temperature. In superconductors, Ohm's law is not applicable as there is no resistance to impede the flow of current, resulting in the potential for an infinite current to flow in a closed circuit without needing a voltage difference.
Which values of resistance is correct ac or dc?
AC current tends to flow towards the surface of a conductor due to what is known as the skin effect. This phenomenon acts to reduce the effective cross-sectional area of a conductor and, therefore, elevate its resistance. This elevated value of resistance is known as AC resistance.The skin effect increases with frequency. At 50/60 Hz, the skin effect is quite moderate and, so, the AC resistance is not significantly higher than the true (or DC) resistance of the conductor.As to 'which value of resistance is correct?' Well, the natural resistance of a conductor is directly-proportional to its cross-sectional area and resistivity, and inversely-proportional to its length and the type of current plays no part in this. This is the value that a DC current would 'see', so you could say that this would be the 'correct' value of resistance.
Why the resistance is directly proportion to the lenght of a conductor?
Resistance is caused due to the collision of the moving free electrons in a conductor with the fixed positive ions in the metal when a potential difference is applied across the conductor. As the length increases, the number of collisions by the moving free electrons with the fixed positive ions increases as more number of fixed positive ions are present in an increased length of the conductor. As a result, resistance increases. -Sanjay
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 are the factors affecting the resistance of conductors?
Conductor resistance = Conductor resistivity * Length of conductor / Cross sectional area of conductor. So. It is directly proportional to material & conductor length. And inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of conductor.
Is resistance is directly proportional to charge?
No, resistance is not directly proportional to charge. Resistance is determined by the material, length, and cross-sectional area of a conductor, while charge is a property of matter. The resistance will affect the flow of charge in a circuit, but it is not directly proportional to the charge itself.
What is joule's law of heating?
The heat produced due to electric current through a resistance is i) directly proportional to the square of the current ii) directly proportional to the resistance value of the conductor iii) directly proportional to the time of flow of current.
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.
When and who invented the resister?
It was probably Ohms who came with the phenomenon of resistivity and hence the term resistance. Resistance of any metal is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional the the cross-sectional area of the conductor. The unit of resistance is Ohm's.
How would resistance depend on cross section and length of the material?
Resistance R =p(L /A)i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor will be directly proportional to its length(L) ==> if the length of the conductor increases its resistance also will increase.i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A) ==> if the Area of the conductor increases its resistance also will decrease.
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.
If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?
I assume you meant pressure to voltage. The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.
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.
Which variable is inversely proportional to the resistance?
Inversely proportional to resistance is the current (I) in a circuit, as per Ohm's law: V = I * R, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. When resistance increases, current decreases, and vice versa.
How would resistance r depend on cross section and length of the material?
Resistance R =p(L /A)i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor will be directly proportional to its length(L) ==> if the length of the conductor increases its resistance also will increase.i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A) ==> if the Area of the conductor increases its resistance also will decrease.
