it depends on the length and width of the wire
measurement of how much material impedes flow of electricity
It's numerically the voltage required between the ends of the wire in order
to cause 1 Ampere of current to flow in the wire, but its unit is 'Ohms'.
Short wire has less resistance Long wire has more resistance Thick wire has less resistance Thin wire has more resistance
If the electrical characteristics of the wire itself are not part of the experiment, then the wire should be thick and short. This minimizes both the resistance and inductance of the wire, and therefore the chances that the effects of the wire could influence the observations of the experiment.
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
resistance of wire increases with increases of length
When a wire is made thicker it's resistance decreases.
The connecting wire will be thicker and made of a low resistance material to allow electricity to flow with minimal losses. The element requires a thinner wire with higher resistivity which causes it to heat when electricity passes through.
Short wire has less resistance Long wire has more resistance Thick wire has less resistance Thin wire has more resistance
It important that the connecting device be of the same rated ampacity of the wire used to dissipate the static charge. A high resistance at this junction is unwanted because of the heat that will build up due to an increase in a joint with resistance.
Anything that is not connecting wire qualifies as not connecting wire. Examples are a table, a house, a mountain, a planet etc.
Voltage = Current x Resistance. To calculate the voltage drop of a piece of wire, you would have to know the current flowing in the circuit and the resistance of the wire. The resistance of wire depends on the material it is made of, the length, and the cross sectional area (also called gauge or AWG). Short thick wires have less resistance than long thin wires. You can look up the resistance of the wire on the Internet, and you can measure the current flowing by connecting an ammeter in series with the circuit. Multiply those two numbers and you will have closely approximated the voltage drop across the wire.

no...... ideal open switch should have a resistance of infinity... the question should be a closed switch http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Will_an_open_switch_record_a_resistance_of_zero_ohms" but this is also false because any good conductor will have a small resistance the connecting wire resistance is exhibitted across the terminals of the switch
In general, the longer the wire the greater the resistance. The only time that this is not so is when the wire is a superconductor, in which case the resistance is always zero.
