Temperature is a common factor that affects both resistance and resistivity. As temperature increases, the resistivity of conductive materials typically increases due to increased atomic vibrations, which impede the flow of electrons. Consequently, this rise in resistivity leads to an increase in resistance for a given material. Thus, both resistance and resistivity are influenced by temperature, impacting the efficiency of electrical conduction.
Primary Factors:For a simple system like an electrical wire, there are three major things which will affect the electric resistance.1. Resistance of wire conductor depends upon the material of which it is made.2. Resistance of wire conductor is directly proportional to its length.3. Resistance of a wire conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross-section. (At least for low frequency voltage.)Additional:In general every material has a characteristic electrical conductivity (and resistivity) which determines how well it will conduct electricity. Metals have very high conductivities and insulators very low. The geometry of an object affects the resistance with the above-mentioned wire geometry being the most important example.In general the type of material and the geometry are the primary factors in determining the resistance of an object, but there are other effects worth mentioning.Temperature can change electrical properties of a material and there are some dramatic examples such as superconductors. Semiconductors can also have important temperature dependent properties. For most generic materials there is a rise in resistance with an increase in temperature but the effect is not usually large.More exotic phenomena also exist, such as the change in resistance due to a magnetic field or nonlinear conductors which do not have a fixed resistance but rather have a resistance that depends on voltage. Conductivity through a gas is a dramatic example of the latter.
The diameter of the airway is the most important factor in determining airway resistance. A smaller diameter increases resistance, making it harder for air to flow. Factors such as mucus, inflammation, and constriction can also affect airway resistance.

Temperature is a common factor that affects both resistance and resistivity. An increase in temperature generally leads to an increase in resistance and resistivity of a material. This is because higher temperature causes more atomic vibrations and collisions within the material, hindering the flow of electrons and increasing resistance.
There are three, not four, factors that determine the resistance of a conductor. These are the length of a conductor, its cross-sectional area, and its resistivity.As resistivity is affected by temperature, you could say that temperature indirectly affects resistance but, strictly, temperature is affecting the resistivity not the resistance -which is why it is not considered a 'fourth' factor.So, resistance = resistivity x (length/area)
The availability of food is an example of a factor that affects environmental resistance. Other factors include climate and predators.
The factors affecting resistivity include the material's composition, temperature, and impurities present. Different materials have different resistivities due to variations in electron mobility and collisions with lattice vibrations. Temperature affects resistivity because it changes the lattice vibrations and electron collisions within the material. Impurities can also increase resistivity by disrupting the flow of electrons.
It can be because of the material used.As we know R=PL/A where R=resistance P=resistivity of the material used L=length of the conductor A=area of cross section of the conductor
Electrical resistivity (also known as resistivity, specific electrical resistance, or volume resistivity) quantifies how strongly a given material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the movement of electric charge. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho). The SI unit of electrical resistivity is theohm⋅metre (Ω⋅m)It defined as resistance offerde by a unit length and cross section area conductor.It depends on material used.it depends on relexation time and temperature.

The four factors that affect resistance in a conductor are the material's resistivity, the length of the conductor, the cross-sectional area, and the temperature. Resistivity is an intrinsic property of the material, where some materials, like copper, have lower resistivity than others. Resistance increases with the length of the conductor and decreases with a larger cross-sectional area. Additionally, as temperature rises, resistance typically increases for most conductors due to increased atomic vibrations that impede electron flow.
This are the factor which affect resistance of a conductor (1). Area of conductor (2). Length of conductor (3) Temperature (4). Type or substance of material used in conducting the electricity.
To figure the resistance of a substance in ohms, more information would be needed. Resistance is calculated by (resistivity)*(length)/(cross sectional area). First consider a wire conductor. Electrical resistivity is a property of the substance (it usually will vary with temperature). The thicker a wire is (larger cross sectional area) will lower the resistance. The longer the wire will increase the resistance. Now consider water. There is no 'wire' so the cross sectional area of whatever conductor is in contact with the wire will be a factor. A second conductor will need to be in contact with the water to complete the current path. The distance between the conductors is the length. Resistivity has a unit of ohms*meters; when divided by area and multiplied by length, the resulting unit is ohms. The reciprocal of resistivity is conductivity, which has units of Siemens/meter (Siemens is equivalent to 1/Ohms) I have posted a link to the Wikipedia article, listing conductivity values for several conducting elements (and water as well). Pure water with no impurities actually has a very high resistivity (low conductivity, which means not much current will flow). Pure water is not very common, and the type and amount of impurities affects the conductivity of the water sample. Conductivity of typical drinking water is in the range: 0.0005 to 0.05 Siemens per meter, so the reciprocal (resistivity) is 2000 Ohm*meters to 20 Ohm*meters. Note from the same chart that deionized water has a conductivity of 5.5 × 10-6 Siemens/meter --> resistivity = 181,818 ohm*meters.
* ACSR or AAAC or anything else, it does not matter. * Conductivity depends on resistance of material and resistance depends on resistivity of material and some other factors. * Resistivity of any material is generally constant term and depends on material. resistivity of alluminium and cooper is different. * General equation for calculation of resistance is: R= SL/A where, R=resistance of material S=resistivity of material L = length of material and A = area of material and now finally I = V/R where, I = max. current which can pass at given voltage and temperature V=voltage applied R=resistance of material as calculated above remember R also depends on temperature also and varies with temperature....so for large change in temp. you will have to also consider that factor.
Resistivity is a measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of electric current. It depends on factors such as the material's composition, temperature, and dimensions. Materials with high resistivity impede the flow of current more than those with low resistivity.
