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.

Factors affecting resistance of a metal conductor?

The material, the length, the cross section.


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.


Does resistivity depend on length and area of the cross section of the material?

No. Resistivity is a material constant, defined for a standard size of material. For another size of material, it can be calculated. Resistivity is the same for any piece of material; resistance can change.


The magnitude of the resistance of a wire depends on?

Temperature, Length of wire, Area of the cross-section of wire and nature of the material.


What are the two factors of a wire that will alter its resistance?

The resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the area of cross section. Also it depends on the material of the wire with which it is made. So three factors. Length, area of cross section, material.


What is the definition of specific resistance?

The electrical resistance offered by unit length and unit cross section of a material when a known voltage is applied at its ends.


Which is a better conductor between a short wire and long wire?

Double the length is double the resistance. Resistance of a wire is the resistivity of the material, times the length, divided by the cross-section area.


Does the resistance of a conductor incfrease by any measure when the conductor is in doubled in length?

The resistance is directly proportional to the length of conductor and inversely proportional to area of the cross section.If the length is doubled then the resistance will double.Resistance=rho*l/arho=resistivity of the material (Ohms/m) and depends on the material used for the wirel=length of the wirea= area of the cross section of the wire.


What change in resistivity if length is doubled?

Resistivity is a property of a substance, and doesn't depend on the dimensions of a sample. If the length of a conductor is doubled, then its resistance doubles but its resistivity doesn't change.


How do you calculate a cross-sectional area When all you know is resistance resistivity and length?

I think the equation you are looking for is Resistance (ohms) = Resistivity * Length / Area or R=p*L/A. This is the resistance of a circular wire with cross-section of A, length of L, and material with resistivity p. So to get area: Area = Resistivity * Length / Resistance.


What four things does electrical resistance depend on?

Electrical resistance depends on the material's resistivity, length, cross-sectional area, and temperature. Together, these factors affect how much a material resists the flow of electrical current.
