Question

list out the factors affecting the resistance of a conductor

Answer 1

Factors affecting resistance of a conductor:

1.) Material of wire

2.) The length of wire

3.) The area of Cross section of wire

4.) The temperature of wire

Answer 2

Resistance of a conductor is affected by the following factors:

1) Length of the conductor
Length of the conductor is directly proportional to the resistance it offers. The more the length of conductor, the more resistance it would offer.

2) Area of Cross-Section
Area of Cross-Section of conductor is inversely proportional to the resistance it offers. The more the area of cross-section of conductor, the lesser resistance it offers.

3) Temperature
Temperature of the conductor is directly proportional to the resistance it offers. The more the temperature of conductor, the more resistance it offers.

4) Nature of Conductor
The conductors offers least resistance, the semi-conductors offer more resistance and the insulators offer even more resistance.
