Question

On what factors does the resistance of a conductor depend and how?

Answer 1

Hey there!

=>> The resistance of a conductor depends upon the following factors:

(a) Length of the conductor (L)

(b) Cross-sectional area of the conductor (A)

and Resistivity of the conductor, which depends upon:

(c) Material of the conductor 

(d) Temperature of the conductor

=>>> Factors on which resistance depends are: 
temprature​ is a factor on which resistance depends. The more the temperature the higher the resistance. Thus, temperature and resistance is directly proportional to each other. 
The more the potential difference more becomes the resistance. 
As we can clearly see the relation from ohms formula v=Ir Current is inversely proportional to Resistance. If resistance is more, current will be less and if resistance is less, current will be more. 
The more the length of conducting material, the more the resistance. A wire of 8m will have more resistance than a wire of 3m. 
If the cross section are of conducting material or wire is more, resistance is less. They both are also inversely proportional.

Hope it helped!☺️
