How does the resistance of a conductor depend on
Answers
Answer: Option-a,b,c
Explanation:
(a)The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. Resistance also depends on the material of the conductor. See resistivity. ... The resistance of a conductor, or circuit element, generally increases with increasing temperature.
(b)Resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross- section. Resistance gets halved and hence more electricity can pass through it.
(c)Since the resistance of some conductor, such as a piece of wire, depends on collisions within the wire itself, the resistance depends on temperature. With increasing temperature, the resistance of the wire increases as collisions within the wire increase and "slow" the flow of current.
