The effect on the resistance of a metal wire of resistance through resistivity,  R = ρl/A.

Explanation:

(a) From the above equation, it is clear that resistance is directly proportional to the length. So, if the length is increased the resistance of the metal wire will increase too.

(b) When you increase the diameter of the metal wire, the area of cross-section increases resulting into decreasing the resistance of the metal wire.

(c) The resistance of a metal wire increases when the temperature is increased as the resistance depends on the nature of the material .
