Question

Answer the following:
2x24
5. On what factors does the resistance of a conductor depend?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Temperature and area are the factors on which the resistance of a conductor depend. This is because if the temperature increases the movement of electrons increase due to which it effects resistance.

Area affects the resistance of a conductor

Answer 2

Hi,

Here is your answer.

Factors affecting resistance of a conductor

1. Nature of the conductor

2.Temperature

• In the case of a metallic conductor, when temperature increases resistance increases and vice versa.

• In the case of semi conductors, when temperature increases resistance decreases and vice versa.

3. Length of the conductor

• Resistance is directly proportional to length.

• R∝L where R is resistance and L is length

4. Area of cross section

• Resistance is inversely proportional to area of cross section
• R∝1/A where A is area of cross section

Hope this helps you.
