Answer:
A long wire has more resistance than a short wire.
Extra information:
The resistance of a long wire is greater than the resistance of a short wire because electrons collide with more ions as they pass through. ... The resistance of a thin wire is greater than the resistance of a thick wire because a thin wire has fewer electrons to carry the current.
Hope it helps....

A long wire has more resistance than a short wire.
Explanation:
Resistance is defined as the limitation to the flow of current in an electric circuit.
The SI unit of resistance is ohm Ω
The resistance in a wire increases when
- The length of the wire increases
- The thickness of the wire decreases
- As a result of freely moving electrons, the current is produced.
- These moving electrons sometimes collide with the ions in the metal.
- This limits the flow of current and causes resistance.
- A long wire has more resistance than a short wire because electrons collide with many ions as they travel through the wire.
- Therefore, the relationship between resistance and wire length is directly proportional.
