Question

What are the factors on which the resistance of a conductor depends ?Explain it also. Class 10 Chapter Electricity, Physics, Science.​

Answer 1

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\green{\bold{Answer}}}}}$

The factors on which the resistance of a conductor depends are :

• Length

Resistance increases with length.

Resistance is directly proportional to length.

• Area of cross section

If Area of cross section is small then resistance is large.

If Area of cross section is large then resistance is less.

• Material

Resistance also depend on the material - copper, silver, etc.
