Question

OR
What happens to the resistance of a conductor when its area
of cross-section is increased ?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The resistance of the wire will increase beacuse area of cross section is directly proportional to resistence.

Answer 2

Hi Mate ,

As the amount of current flowing at constant voltage increases with increase in cross sectional area, resistance decreases because the resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross section.

Good Day
