A longer wire has a higher resistance, because there are more particles for the electrons going around to "hit", and therefore be slowed down from.

Does a short copper wire have more resistance then a long one?

No, resistance depends on the material, cross-sectional area, and temperature of the wire. A shorter wire will have less resistance compared to a longer wire since it offers less opposition to the flow of electrical current.


Does a long wire have smaller resestnce than a short wire?

Not necessarily. Resistance is a function of the material, cross-sectional area, and temperature of the wire, as well as its length. Longer wires typically have higher resistance than shorter wires, assuming all other factors are the same.


Does a long spring stretch more than a short one?

Not necessarily. The amount of stretch in a spring depends on its elasticity and the force applied to it, rather than its length. A long spring may stretch more than a short one if it is made of the same material and subjected to the same force, but there are other factors that can affect stretching as well.


Do bigger parachutes have more air resistance or drag force than smaller parachute?

Bigger parachutes have more air resistance and drag force than smaller parachutes. This is because the larger surface area of the bigger parachute creates more friction with the air, resulting in increased resistance and drag.


Do short wavelength waves bend more or less than long wavelength waves?

Short wavelength waves bend less than long wavelength waves when they pass through a medium because they have higher frequencies and shorter distances between wave crests. This phenomenon is known as refraction.

Will a short thick metal wire have better resistance compared to a long narrow metal wire?

"Better" depends on how much resistance you need for your circuit design.A short thick wire will have less resistance than a long thin wire of the same substance.Whether that's better or worse depends on how you plan to use the wire.


Are short or long hairstyles the trend for women in 2011?

Long hairstyles are the trend. You can do alot more with long hair than you can with short. However, some people feel that it is more professional to have short hair.

Is this process more likely to occur during short run or a long walk?

i think long walk because you waste more energy than a short walk

Why might the current in a short circuit be higher than the current in the original circuit?

The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.
