- Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. As its length increases it's resistance increases.
- Let x be the resistance of a wire of length L
- If length of a wires is doubled to 2L its resistance is doubled to 2x
- If it is doubled again, the length of the wire becomes 4L and it's resistance becomes 4x.
- Thus if a given length of a wire is doubled on itself and this process is repeated once again it's resistance increases by a factor of 4
