For a single temperature, yes. The copper wire will have a much smaller cross-section than the iron wire.
For multiple temperatures, no. Copper and iron have different temperature coefficients for resistivity.

How do you reduce resistivity of a wire length and diameter should be equal or length should be halve or both should be halved or length should b doubled and diameter should be halved or diameter doub?
'Resistivity' is usually considered to be a property of a substance, not a structure.In the normal unit of resistivity, the length and cross-section area are divided out,so they don't affect the 'resistivity.In the case of your piece of wire, the only characteristic that it seems reasonableto discuss is just plain good old 'resistance'.I think the point of this question is to investigate the relative effects ... of a changein length compared to the same change in diameter ... on the initial resistance of apiece of wire.Length:The resistance of the sample is directly proportional to its length.Diameter:The resistance of the sample is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area,which is the same as saying 'inversely proportional to the square of the diameter'.So, let's look at the choices listed in the question:Change length to 1/2:Resistance changes to 1/2 .Change length and diameter both to1/2 :Resistance changes by factor of 1/2 x 4 = 2Length doubles, diameter 1/2:Resistance changes by factor of 2 x 4 = 8 timesLength doubled, diameter doubled:Resistance changes by factor of 2 x 1/4 = 1/2The first and last choices both reduce the resistance.The others both increase the resistance.
What are the main factors that contribute to total peripheral resistance?
Blood vessel diameter,blood viscosity and total vessel length
Three factors that affect the resistance of a copper wire -?
There are three main factors that affect the resistance of a copper wire: Length of the wire: The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. As the length of the wire increases, the resistance also increases. This is because the longer the wire, the more obstacles (collisions with electrons) the current has to overcome, resulting in higher resistance. Cross-sectional area of the wire: The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. As the cross-sectional area of the wire increases, the resistance decreases. This is because a larger cross-sectional area provides more space for the flow of electrons, reducing the resistance. Resistivity of the material: The resistance of a wire is also dependent on the resistivity of the material it is made of. Resistivity is an inherent property of the material and is a measure of how much the material opposes the flow of electric current. Copper has a relatively low resistivity compared to other metals, making it a good conductor and suitable for wiring applications. The relationship between these factors and the resistance of a copper wire can be expressed by the formula: R = ρ × (L / A) Where: R is the resistance of the wire ρ (rho) is the resistivity of the material (in this case, copper) L is the length of the wire A is the cross-sectional area of the wire By adjusting these three factors, you can control and manipulate the resistance of a copper wire to suit your specific needs in electrical and electronic applications.
What is the diameter of a 1.04 m length of tungsten wire whose resistance is 0.19?
This question needs additional information to enable me correctly answer it.
What affects the resistance of a conductor?
The length and the material that the conductor is made from. Different wire sizes have different ohm/foot. The longer the length of the conductor the higher the ohms/foot. Temperature also affects the resistance. Silver has the least resistance, followed by Copper, then Gold, then Aluminum. Here are some published resistances in micro ohm-cm: Silver - 1.6 Copper - 1.7 Gold - 2.2 Aluminum - 2.7
What ia Standard of dc loop resistance of copper cable?
It depends on the length of th cable and the diameter of the copper cable used.
Which variable is inversely proportional to the resistance?
If you have a conductor ... say, a copper wire ... and you keep its diameter and temperatureconstant, then yes, its resistance will be directly proportional to its length.
Which conditions make resistance small?
The resistance of a wire is the length divided by the cross-section area and the conductivity of the material. So for small resistance you need a wire with short length, large cross-section area (diameter) and a material with high conductivity like copper.
How do you calculate diameter of a copper wire conductor and how do we calculate resistance of a copper wire conductor of a particaular length?
You go to the NEC and look at the chart for developed length and the ambient temperature and the load factor and if it solid or stranded wire as stranded allows for more voltage
What doesn't affect the resistance of a uniform circular copper wire?
Is either; A. the length of the wire B. the diameter of the wire c. the location of the wire D. the temperature of the wire
What is the value of the resistance when both length and diameter are double?
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.
What length of a copper wire 0.800-melimmeter in diameter has a resistance of 100 ohm?
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.
What factors effect the resistance of a wire?
Its elemental makeup. Its' diameter and its' length.
How do you determine length of copper?
As the question is some what blind: However if the cross sectional area of the copper wire/rod is uniform, then we can find the length is we know the electrical residence between two ends. That is the concept of specific resistance is entering into picture to calculate the resistance then the length.
Will an increase of applied voltage decrease the resistance of a copper conductor?
No, the resistance is fixed by the cross section and length of the conductor and does not vary with voltage.
How many times can a 110v line be split without voltage drop?
A splice has a minor additional resistance associated with it, but the main reason for voltage drop will be length. The smaller the wire diameter, the higher the resistance per unit length. The type wire such as stranded or solid or copper and aluminum also contribute to voltage loss in various ways.
