Question

what happens to the resistance as the conductor is made thicker?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Resistance is directly proportional to length of the conductor and inversely proportional to area of cross-section of the conductor. ... So,when the conductor is made thicker,its area of cross-section increases and as resistance is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section,thus resistance decreases.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Resistance is directly proportional to length of the conductor and inversely proportional to area of cross section of the conductor. So, when the conductor is made Thicker ,its area of cross section increases and as resistence is inversely proportional to the area of cross section, thus resistence decreases .
