out of the two conducting wires P and Q sure that below which one has greater resistance
Answers
Answer:
the wire which will have greater resistivity will be considered to be having a greater resistance
Explanation:
The electrical resistance of a wire would be expected to be greater for a longer wire, less for a wire of larger cross sectional area, and would be expected to depend upon the material out of which the wire is made.The resistance of a wire can be expressed as R=ρ
A
L
,
where,
ρ - Resistivity - the factor in the resistance which takes into account the nature of the material is the resistivity
L - Length of the conductor
A - Area of cross section of the conductor.
From this relation, we observe that the length is directly proportional to the resistance and the area of cross section is inversely proportional to the resistance.
Hence, the resistance does not depend on any of the factors mentioned in the options given in the question.
